Paddy was very supportive and encouraging to other musicians,I honestly cannot remember him criticising another musician,I remember him as being a positive person
I played with him and his partner Jan, and also Sue Weir and John and Katie in The Suffolk Bell and Horseshoe Band, and knew him well, he was somebody who involved himself in the local Folk community, for many years he could have been described as one of the back bones of the Suffolk Folkscene, he will be missed by many.
