Hi I'm Paddy I'm Scottish but living In Co Limerick Ireland. I have been writing songs and tunes for last couple of years. Songs are folky in nature tunes are traditional Scottish Irish. Ploay a bit of mandolin and tenor banjo. Only started playing 7 years ago when i was 40. Life begins and all that . Just started singing my own stuff out a couple of months ago. No real idea if they're any good, friends tend not to criticise. Anyway I enjoy writing so feel free to give me a shout.
