Welcome, Paddy Rockers Episode #52 is available for your listening pleasure. I was feeling in a rut, with not too many new quality releases coming my way lately. While I have gotten some very good ones, I did not have enough for a whole show. So I took some of what I had, mixed it up with some of what I like and brought you 90+ minutes of Celtic Music to liven up your mid-summers night. Tried to include a mix of everything from Trad to Rock to Punk, and did a mighty fine job as you have come to expect. Furthermore I have opted to tone my language back as this use to be a family show, and will be again. Just because I curse openly around my home does not mean you all do and I will respect that. Lastly the shirts are ordered, hopefully I have them in 2 to 3 weeks and will try to get them shipped ASAP, thank you for you patience and support as per usual

As always thanks for listening ~ Phil (aka The Grinning Beggar).

Welcome all to Episode #20 of the Paddy Rock Roots Podcast. I was thinking about doing a best of 2018 but we are so damn far into 2019 already I just wanted to get on with it. Seems loads of folks been having a heck of a time with 2019 so far as well. There has been too much bad mojo kickin about so far and it’s time to break out some healing in the form of music. So if you have been beat down, beat up, kicked in, knocked out, had your heart ripped out & stepped on, been fired or any other misfortunes. Let me first offer you my apologies (I rank among your numbers) for whomever it was that did this. Obviously, they don’t recognize the good that can be found in any one or any situation. But Secondly and most importantly, let me invite you to stuff this musical gem into your earholes.  Music brightens the soul and cures the hurt and it starts now.  Thanks for joining me!
