I've had a lot of people asking me about my Christmas Podcasts. Never in my life did I think that my baudy Celtic Punk Christmas shows would become "Tradition" for people and family's. Well straight up I am fucking honoured ! For those of you who don't know I have encountered some life changes this year. Most of my stuff is packed, the old site is gone and the archived files are?  But I found a de...

When I was a kid I watched movies for the soundtrack. As an adult I find I still do the same thing.  recently we watched SAS Rogue Heroes and fell in love with it.  Not only was it a great WWII Action series, the soundtrack was amazing. Packed full of 70's era punk tunes it was an awesome way to augment the over the top action, attitude and language.  I frigged up a bit and fixed the mistakes to w...

Yeah I am still here! till doing the live show weekly so these often times get buried.  Plus I am particular, if the show has any botches I hate to post them.  but it's time to stop being so particular and try to post more show.  This show was a continuation of my bangers episode. No mess no fuss just pure impact!  Enjoy the show and thanks for listening. Don't forget to listen to Paddy Rock live...

Surprise! Phil has gotten off his ass and uploaded another new episode.  St. Patrick's Day this year saw a lot of good new releases, but many of them were not available to play until after my last saw was released. So I did all I could do and included them on this show, in addition to some old favourites, how could I not! With so many good friends in the scene it would be a disservice to all of us...

I am sure many of you wondered if you were going to see a St. Patrick's Day show this year. Allow me to reply with a resounding Fuck yeah Bay-Bay ! Paddy Rock was founded 25 years ago, by John Bowles and was at that time solely Celtic Rock and Punk. It was about 13 years ago I took it over and ran with it for a good long time. Then around the time of Covid Celtic Music started to wane globally. If...

Second Episode is done, that must be a record! But if I am being honest this show was so amazing I had to post it. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did. This Episode is chalked full of Oi! & Street Rock and Roll, some of old favourites and some killer new bangers. Turn this beast up loud, but I don't think you will have much control over that. Look for a new one coming in the next week If y...

First show of the year, would like to say I have a good excuse but I don't. I am lazy and I have been actually trying to get out a bit more. There have been so many good shows, and so many more coming. regardless with it being VD day I thought I would give you some additional motivation. So for your earhole I present Season 24, Episode 1 of the Paddy Rock Podcast. Figured with all the wild politic...

So when things get tough I try to lean on my people. But being that stranger in a strange land, aka an immigrant of sorts, there are not many to lean on. This is where music comes into play because it is always there. Sad, Angry, Tired, Happy no matter the emotion or occasion I have a song, or playlist to cover it! So when people fail us, music never does - This my friends is how we made it throug...

Catching up on posting a few older episodes that I prettied up and never posted.  Laziness is a real thing as is being sad, but hopefully we are past the sad part ! This was my birthday episode and I refuse to age gracefully. The last 18 months have sought to crush me, but I will not bend or break. I will embrace the music and yesterday and today to push through. So there you have aging and raging...

Took a few days to post this episode but it was too good not to post. So much Oi! gets played so I thought it would be fun to take look at a different part of Skinhead Culture. So bust out your platforms and paisley and get ready to cla[p your hands and stamp your feet. This is Bovver Rock! Don't forget to listen to Paddy Rock live Wednesdays from 7 - 9 om EST and Rocksteady Tonight Sundays from 6...

Look at that back with another show, pretty quickly no less. This week is another episode heavy on the Oi! and Street Punk beause that's what helps get us over the hump.  With all these fucking poltics being shoved down my throat on the daily I get pretty surly and there is only one way to get it out. Music, Loud and Angry! So here it is....  Enjoy the show !! Don't forget to listen to Paddy Rock...

It's been a while what can I say?  I have always been about quality, but these days I guess I am giving less fucks about how good I sound. As long as I keep busting out killer tunes, what difference does it matter?  So I will try to post more, and try to hit some older shows too.  Yesterdays live show was a banger so I figured let's start off big.  In the show I also give you a sample of the Still...

After last weeks failed 1st St. Patrick's Day Episode I owed it to everyone to put together a real banger. There are 2 key ingredients for this: #1. Listener Input #2. minimal Interruptions so this is is mostly requests and I only intro and outro the program. Talk about the best of both worlds. Have a Happy and safe St. Patrick's Day and remember despite all the hype and shenanigans around the day...

Back in the 80's Punk, or Hardcore as it was known was still pretty new. If you recall all those 80's movies the villains were always punks! The scene was violent, and came from a class of people who needed to be hear. There was Reaganomics, Gorbachev and Nuclear War Drills and civil unrest everywhere. Funny the names have changed as have the faces but the songs and the messages are as relevant as...

Here we are on the precipice of 2024, after the past year could things get worse? Maybe, but will they... doubtful.  I have withstood the storm of life and remained steadfast. The focus has shifted a bit but the core has remained solid, which is great music for great people.  When I took this show over it was to continue bringing music to the masses. At that time it was entirely Celtic Rock and Pu...

What you have here is the same as me saving Christmas. Like I said before, I didn't realize I had become a tradition for so many listeners. So at the 11th Hour I pulled another one and broke off what I think is a pretty fucking awesome Christmas show. Not going to make any bones about it 2023 sucked, the WORST year of my life. I lost my mom, my wife and my pop is in the hospital trying to keep bot...

Season 22, Episode #15 Last week was Australian Band T-Shirt week and as such I celebrated it! There is little in terms of music that I enjoy more that Aussie jams! So after spinning some new tunes I opted to reach down under and cram your earholes full of Australian Audible Heaven. To say this show is a banger really doesn't do it justice so just enjoy the show and spread the love.  Don't forget...

Season 20, Episode #10 And you didn't have to wait months and months! I actually got a late start on today's show and was not even close to prepared, in fact I made this playlist while I was doing the show. Though within the first 7 minutes I had it done and we were kicking ass. Kicked in off with some Cock Sparrer, which set the tone for the rest of the show. Figured with Labour Day just passing,...

Thought easing back into the saddle would be easy, but getting back into anything after a lay off is difficult. Driving, Relationships, The Gym and even Podcasting / Radio - You just forget how somethings work...!  So, this episode was not without its struggles, now you have a shortened one. I recently became acquainted with Chad and Thora some local peeps busting their asses to make the local pun...

It's Friday and time for another Paddy Rock Podcast courtesy of Boot Boy Radio. This week I ask you all to exercise a bit of compassion when dealing with other people, you never know what is going on underneath their facade, and September is Suicide Prevention Month. This week sees a massive undertaking and change in my life, more of that to come later down the road, but it has been a challenge. ...

Welcome back everyone - I am still catching up on back episodes. This show I have entitled That Old Dirt Road sees me spinning a lot of newer Street Punk and Oi! At the end though I take a walk down that old dirt road and revisit some of my favorite Celtic Punk tunes for what ends up being a really marvelous show.  And of course with it being May I had to open it up with Darth Vader's theme song,...

Many of you know me personally, many do not...  With that being said I tend to be a private person regardless. Well without being too specific I have been a little spotty lately due to life taking a left turn. My live shows have become hit or miss and my postings have become even more missed. I promise this is about to change.  And for those of you who liked and love the Paddy Rock Roots show, tha...
