I am still slinging bangers and this show was a great lead up for a weekend. Fueled with booze and maybe a hint of violence, today's show is heavily dominated by Oi! and Street Punk a plenty. So lace those boots up tight and get ready to jump into the pit. And just remember it's Friday o'clock somewhere, and that's probably in Australia ! Don't forget to listen to Paddy Rock live Thursdays from 7 - 9 om EST and check out my other show, Rocksteady Tonight Sunday from 6-8 pm both on at www.BootBoyRadio.net.

I am still working on posting up some more recent shows, quite a bit of Celtic so that will be a nice treat for the Paddy Rock Faithful. To those of you who reached out to me, I appreciate your love and support.

Here it is the official St. Patrick's Day Paddy Rockers. Truth be told I wasn't going to do one this year. Iam not trying to pander for sympathy, but on Feb 25 my mother passed from cancer. It's not been easy to deal with, and even harder being an only child doing it on your own. Though one thing about my mom was she was fiery! She'd never let me mope or feel sorry for myself. So while it was a struggle, here it is a tribute to my mom and a little show for St. Patrick's Day. Loaded full of standards and some new classics! I would add some widsom but I won;t, just enjoy the show with someone you love! Don forget to Listen live Thursday from 7 - 9 pm EST and check out my other show, Rocksteady Tonight Sunday from 6-8 pm at www.BootBoyRadio.net.

Paddy Rock Podcast: Season 22, Ep. 06 - How Much More?
Wednesday Mar 15, 2023
Wednesday Mar 15, 2023
Well it's St. Patrick's Day month and its one I will never forget. March this year saw my world fall mostly apart. Started with the death of my mum and the aftermath that ensued. It's been a hard one to turn around, but music helps. But unfortunately St. Patrick's Day this year has taken another hit. I will do what I can, but it won't be all that I want. Hopefully given a year, things can turn around. But for now I will spin tunes and wonder to myself how much more can I take? Listen live Thursday from 7 - 9 om EST and check out my other show, Rocksteady Tonight Sunday from 6-8 pm at www.BootBoyRadio.net. Turn it up loud and and as always thanks for listening ~ Phil (aka The Grinning Beggar).

Sunday Feb 19, 2023
Sunday Feb 19, 2023
For years Paddy Rock hosted only Celtic Punk because there was nowhere for it to be heard. ONce that scene began to dry up I looked to expand Paddy Rock's offerings in order to survive. So I began including Punk and Oi!... Not only does it fit well, but there is also very few spaces for it to be heard. So embrace it, turn it up and don't forget to Listen live Thursday from 7 - 9 om EST and check out my other show, Rocksteady Tonight Sunday from 6-8 pm at www.BootBoyRadio.net. Turn it up loud and and as always thanks for listening ~ Phil (aka The Grinning Beggar).

About Paddy Rock
Paddy Rock was founded in March 2000. The surrogate child of cheap beer and great music, John Bowles should be recognized as the founder what may arguably the longest-running Celtic/Punk podcasts still in existence, and perhaps one of the longest-running podcasts in general still going strong!
About 2012, I came into the picture. Having been running my own show for a handful of years, I was offered an invitation to come into the fold of Paddy Rock. While Paddy Rock had previously been my "competition," it was also one of the main reasons I started my own podcast, and the gold standard I held myself to. It was an opportunity I could not pass up.
Shortly after I joined, John decided to step away from Paddy Rock to follow other passions in the form of One Kind Radio. This left me as the man behind the brand, and for a long while we prospered. I tried to diversify the brand, adding additional shows -- most notably Corey DesRoches, formerly of PE Irish Radio and Donny Zuzula of The Tosspints.
Unfortunately, over time, as all things do, this lost it's shine. Almost indicative of things to come. About 2019, our booming little niche of Celtic Punk & Rock was drying up. Fewer releases were coming my way, fewer shows were being done and interest was dropping quickly. Some stalwarts remained, such as Shite n Onions, and London Celtic Punks to promote, along with notable bands such as The Tossers, Mr. Irish Bastard, The Kilmaine Saints and The Go Set to name a few.
In late 2019, the decision was made. Paddy Rock had to change, or be lost... It was at this point I decided to adopt more Punk Rock and Oi music for the show. All these genres embrace the blue collar, working-class spirit, so it felt natural, worked well and made for really great programming. It was shortly after this decision was made I was offered the opportunity to bring Paddy Rock to Boot Boy Radio as a weekly show on their internet radio station, you can catch it live Thursdays 7-9 pm EST. Some but not all shows are what you will find here.
Paddy Rock was always about sharing really great music from bands that maybe did not have the reach. And it still is, and always will be. While we may not spin as much Celtic Punk and Rock as we once did, the spirit and heart of the music is still alive and always will be. Thank you for reading, thank you for listening and thank you for your years of support.
Slainte ~ Phil aka The Grinning Beggar
