Celtic Awakening
It is because of connections between my childhood and adulthood that I named this CD “Celtic Awakening.” The journey from an early exposure to all things Irish to a more full understanding of my Irish ancestry was a long road and I want to share some of what I have discovered of my Celtic musical heritage. So here are some of the tunes and songs I play. I hope you enjoy the collection.

Whacked Out
Paddywhack plays a variety of jigs, hornpipes, polkas, and reels on a multitude of instruments and mix them up with precise vocal harmonies while singing sea shanties, ballads, and sing-alongs. This is there first CD and is representative of the sound the group created back in the early 1980’s. (Released 2002)

Cape Cod Girls
Something Old, Something New
This CD provides what it advertises. If you are a long time fan of Paddywhack, songs like “The Trumpet Hornpipe Medley”, “Tanglediony”, “The Nutting Song”, and “General Guinness” will take you back to a time when you were sitting in O.G. Kelleys sipping suds and listening to tunes. But time keeps moving and our music has moved with it, so you will also get a taste of some of the newer tunes that the Paddywhack trio performs today. Beautiful ballads like “The Harp Without the Crown” and “The Band of Shearers” are interlaced with lively sing alongs like “Tell Me Ma” and gorgeous Airs like “Hector the Hero”. (Released 2006)
