"Paddy Sherlock: Jazz, Swing, Insolence". (A nous Paris magazine)

Prolific songwriter, dynamic frontman, actor, singer and trombone hero. Original and groovy, you've never seen anything quite like it...

Paddy Sherlock writes and sings in English and in French

and through his onstage persona weaves a unique and funky universe.

"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 Sinatra and Astaire.

But think rather of Swing's shadow world,

a world inhabited by hobo counter-culture, box-cars and the blues.

The music as it was away from the glitzy world of Hollywood.  

All brought up to date and re-invented 21st century style.  

His show dances to the joys and toils of life somewhere between Louis Jordan and the Squirrel Nut Zippers.

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!

PAT KENNY RTE RADIO 1:

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

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

JAZZHOT MAGAZINE:

"...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."
