With an Irish father, a Greek mother, and a Brazilian wife, Paddy has found himself inevitably drawn to learning and playing the musics of all three cultures. He also grew up playing drums in funk, rock, and jazz groups, and spent a not insignificant amount of time hanging out with Nepalese folk percussionists. Today he's one of the leading guitarists and percussionists on the contemporary Celtic music scene, plays fiddles and lutes with various groups in Greece and the US, and for a gringo knows a thing or two about forró and maracatu.
