"Paddy Sherlock sings of life, love, long nights and revolution and manages to sound like he's lived every minute of it."
 (Dubliner magazine).

His influences include a multitude of 20th century American and European music. Sometimes reminiscent of Berlin 30's Cabaret, sometimes passing through Swing's shadow world, a world inhabited by hobo counter-culture, box-cars and the blues, brought up to date and re-invented.

All burlesque and balls. 


Louis Jordan, Big Joe Turner. Dr. John, James Brown, a little Brecht & Weil, a pinch of Tom Waits and a big helping of New Orleans street bands funkin' it up with the hottest second line grooves you ever heard.

From Bunk to Monk through Skunk, Junk, Punk and Funk.

Anything goes!

"You fellows really swing... It's very slick and sophisticated, C'est çà!

They are absolutely fantastic! Paddy Sherlock's Swingin' Lovers are terrific!"

(PAT KENNY - RTE RADIO 1)

"...Paddy Sherlock - Plein d’humour et débordant d’énergie, la formation a mis le feu... étonne d’abord par son important public estudiantin, jeune, un spectacle qui ravit. Enfumée et swinguante... Les quelques mètres au pied de la scène sont investis par les danseurs, un retour aux sources du jazz - Un spectacle plein de vie, et donc de surprises."
