Paddyrasta………..music
from the heart!
Paddyrasta formed in Aberdeen in November 2004, when Brian
Gilligan, Colin Edwards and Tom Roche
began working on Brian’s ideas of fusing reggae and Irish
music with his own songs. They played their first gig as a
support to the legendary Jamaican band The Skatalites in December
2004, and have subsequently performed regularly throughout
Scotland.
Since winning
the local Battle of the Bands competition in May 2005, they
have been working on their debut album “Listen To Your
Heart” which has just been released.
Nigerian David
Imevbore’s driving rhythms and Colin Edward’s sweet
reggae bass grooves provide the rhythm section. Tom Roche
(Ireland) on button-accordion and Sara Reith (Scotland) on
tin whistles weave traditional melodies around heartfelt,
catchy lyrics from Brian Gilligan (Northern Ireland) to create
this distinctively original music.
The band has
played at Rootin Aboot and The Spirit of the Moment Fire Festival
during the year and also shared the stage with bands such
as Croft No. 5 and The Legendary Shack Shakers.
They have recently been asked to open for Shane MacGowan of
The Pogues.
