I didn't know Paddy well, mainly on my infrequent visits to Edinburgh, but consider myself a friend.
I have huge respect for his contribution to Scottish traditional culture via the events he promoted in the city, and his part in the written culture, especially his co-operations with Gonzalo, in work related to Hamish Henderson.
I found him knowledgeable, friendly, inspiring, and I always looked forward to being in his company -very sad news RIP old pal
