Subject: RE: Paddyrasta - a bit good
I first heard a track of theirs from one of the free CDs I got after ordering a year's supply of the excellent Rock'n'Reel magazine. After listening to the track I had to get a copy of the CD. Great stuff. A mixture of reggae and traditonal Irish Music. [I refuse to use the term Celtic, which is new agey and meaningless twaddle.] Socially aware lyrics that aren't a pain in the arse. Not since the Pogues married punk with the Dubliners have I heard anything quite so interesting; although, to be fair, they don't quite reach that standard. Fully recommended. Get it on Amazon. It is not that expensive.
I have to say that I know nothing about them whatsoever.
