The story - so far !
It all began in December 1984 when a bunch of friends about to celebrate their birthdays decided they would have a party. There was a suggestion of having a disco; no I cried out, you've got to have a live band. Where do we get one at such short notice they said," I'll get one", I said. I rang around all my musician friends and within a couple of days we had a band. Now we had the band, what about a name? Sandra, a Canadian girl I was seeing at the time, suggested, as there were three Irishmen involved, why not call it Paddy Goes To Holyhead! Read more
Mel Galley R.I.P
March 1948 - July 2008
Paddy Goes To Holyhead would like to offer their condolences to the family and friends of former Trapeze & Whitesnake guitarist, Mel Galley, who sadly lost his battle with cancer. I had the great pleasure of meeting him on several occasions over the years, over a drink or two, but my best memory is of him joining us on stage for a few songs at the London's legendary Marquee Club in 1990. All I can say is "you couldn't meet a nicer guy" R.I.P. dear friend, see you in the V.I.P. bar up there one day :)

Famous at last !

Well we are big rock singers, we've got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
At ten thousand dollars a show
We take all kind of pills to give us all kind of thrills
But the thrill we've never known
Is the thrill that'll get you when you get your picture
