Alex, Jules, Andrew are well travelled folk musicians who between them play fiddle, mandola, bodhran, banjo, whistles, mandolin, bouzouki, and guitar (though not all at the same time....!). The band is delighted to welcome bass guitar player Simon Field to the group - Simon is a professional player who has toured throughout the UK playing a wide variety of styles and venues with different ensembles.
(Note - this web site is currently being updated with new pictures to reflect Paddy's Whiskers' exciting new line up).
Our full power style is perfect for pub gigs, festivals, weddings, parties, ceilidhs and barndances. If you like the music of the Pogues and the Dubliners then Paddy's Whiskers are for you.
A night with the Whiskers will include fast and furious Irish jigs and reels, melancholy slow airs, some highland mist and a wild rove through a selection of well known folk songs and sea shanties. If you want a ceilidh or barn dance then we have a caller who can help you learn the steps as you party.
Throughout a Whiskers' show, audiences are encouraged to dance and sing along. Children are always fascinated by all the different musical instruments that the band play.
Andrew from the band is also a DJ, with a wide range of music to suit all tastes...the Whiskers can end the party with a great disco to keep all your guests dancing late into the night.
