As well as playing and singing, Paddy makes fine guitars, bouzoukis and mandolins. For more information see his website, Burgin Guitars

We're enthusiastic supporters of Ceol Aneas, an annual festival and workshop for players of Irish traditional music held each year in Nelson, New Zealand

We also like going to the Wellington Folk Festival each year at Labour Weekend. Although it can be cold at night it always feels like a way to celebrate the end of winter for another year.
