Paddy Rock Podcast: Season 22, Ep. 02 - Punk Like We Remember It
Thursday Jan 12, 2023
Thursday Jan 12, 2023
Well here we are 3 weeks into the New Year and you already have 2 killer shows to dig into! This week is pretty much straight up punk again. This is music like I remember it. Punk like I remember it when I was a youth. Coming from a small town in Canada my ideas were not always the sharpest, but music helped me. I remember going to Dr. Disc in Windsor Ontario and picking up copies of the Metro Times from Detroit - Talk about an education. In the 80's and 90's learning about new music was not so easy and leaving your mark was even harder. Lot's of the of the bands on today's shows came from those days. Some newer and younger folks still rock it that way and props to them, its not easy! Hope you enjoy the show, it was a helluva throwback for me! 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).

Paddy Rock Podcast: Season 22, Ep. 01 – Oi! Oi! Aussie Rock n Roll
Saturday Dec 31, 2022
Saturday Dec 31, 2022
Season 22, Episode #1 Well another year down the crapper some may say, and some day I might be apt to agree with them! But for all of its bullshit 2022 has been not a bad year for music, and for personal growth as well. Though I am not sad to see it in the rearview mirror despite it making me another year older. So before I introduce the show, welcome to the new site. I need to apply some spit and polish to it, but this should allow me to post more shows in a more timely manner. I am going to try to upload some of the old content, like the St. Poguetricks Day episode, and some of the root shows. Though it there are any favorites you want let me know by Facebook, here or email. So without further ado, I have long time been raving about how amazing Aussie Celtic Punk is, and that has not changed. But I have really been getting into Aussie Punk and Oi! as well, because it's amazing. I have a connection that takes good care of me, plus I am naturally a freak and find a lot on mine own. Anyway enjoy this as a New Year treat, Oi! Oi! Aussie Rock n Roll, title inspired by Rust! Listen live Thursday from 7 - 9 om EST at www.BootBoyRadio.net. Turn it up loud and and as always thanks for listening ~ Phil (aka The Grinning Beggar).

Paddy Rock Podcast: Season 21, Ep. 05 – The Law of Lions
Friday Sep 23, 2022
Friday Sep 23, 2022
Season 21, Episode #5 So... we might be on Episode #4 or #5, but it doesn't matter! The important part is that there is a new show, finally! I can make excuses but the bottom line is I am just a lazy fucker. Regardless today's show is a real banger. I figured being that Lion's Law was about to tour the US, and there are a lot of killer supporting bands so I figured this would make a good show. As it runs out it made for a fucking fantastic show. Not all the bands are supporting acts, but all the tunes are pretty fucking awesome. So get those boots dusted of and get ready to dance, Paddy Rock starts now. Don't forget to Listen live Thursday's from 7 - 9 om EST at www.BootBoyRadio.net. Turn it up loud and don't forget to drop by and visit our friends at Covert Vinyl Fire it up and as always thanks for listening. ~ Phil (aka The Grinning Beggar)

Paddy Rock Podcast: Season 21, Ep. 04 – Demons from Down Under
Friday Jun 24, 2022
Friday Jun 24, 2022
Season 21, Episode #3 Well I am back without a 6 month wait! The response to the expanded Paddy Rock pallet has been nothing short of brilliant. Seems Oi! transcends Celtic Punk extremely well, I suspect it is that blue collar, working class values they both share. This is a great thing because I have been playing a lot of it and this week is 2 hours or Punk Rock, Street Punk, Oi! bangers! This show rocks so hard you will be rooting through your fridge for breakfast beers! Not only is this show ripe with proper bangers, there are a handful of screaming classics from Down Under, hence the name of the show. I am certain you will play through one through a few times. Pardon the vulgarity, but it comes with the territory. Listen live Thursday from 7 - 9 om EST at www.BootBoyRadio.net.

Paddy Rock Podcast: Season 21, Ep. 01 – 2021 Year in Review
Sunday Jan 09, 2022
Sunday Jan 09, 2022
Season 21, Episode #1 As we kick 2021's ass out the door now is the time to have a look at some of the great Celtic Punk & Rock the year brought us. Its not as much as previous years, but there was a good bit! Though for the amount we got it was still a strange year, presumably due to 2 years of Covid, Lockdowns, cancelled shows and social distancing, bands just don't really have the funds to produce full length albums. Who can really say but the result has been a handful of full length albums, a number of Ep's and 2 handfuls of singles, but at least we have music to rock out to. So enjoy the round up from 2021 I did not get through all of it, I only have 2 hours. If you want to listen to it all check out my Spotify Playlist HERE ! And keep your eyes open for the best of 2021 coming out sometime this year. Turn it up loud and don't forget to drop by and visit our friends at Covert Vinyl Fire it up and as always thanks for listening ~ Phil (aka The Grinning Beggar).

Thursday Oct 14, 2021
Season 20, Episode #11 Well October is here and my birthday has come and gone once again, still not a fan but they get less painful because I care less. One thing is for sure though, the older I get the harder I try to hang onto the things I loved in my youth. One of those things is music! I walked so many paths I have forgot more music than most people will ever know. That is the reason for this episode, I am not sure I have ever done a purely Punk show, so this it is. Mostly every tune is something from my younger days when I was Punk as Fuck... You remember those days too don't you? Walking clichés we were, ohhh those good old days! Enjoy the show and don't forget to drop by and visit our friends at Covert Vinyl Fire it up 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
