• About The Paddy Maguire Band

"Paddy Maguire and his band put on one of the most exciting and top class jamming sessions ever, with contributions from John Amor, Jenna Hooson, Lance Lopez and various combinations of their bands.

And this was only the first night!"

Sue Hickling (See the full review here)

While still a teenager, Maguire was held in such high regard that, after jamming on stage with one of his heroes, guitar player and fellow Irishman Rory Gallagher, he was invited to join his fist band. Maguire was now living the dream. He can still remember the first time he heard Gallagher – and the effect it had: “It was in a supermarket car park. I was 11 and my parents had gone into the store. This song, Million miles away, came on and I was just overwhelmed. I literally punched the radio.”

Looking to further expand his musical horizons, in 1980 he moved to the UK. He joined Decadent west, and was with the band when they had their massive UK No.1 hit song Starlight.

During his stint with Decadent West, in 1994 Maguire released his debut solo album,Chokin the Train, using what he describes as Decadents’s “shit-hot” band. Recorded live in the studio in just a couple of days, it’s full of raw, high-energy, low-maintenance retro-blues delivered with startling punch and real style, and showcases Maguire as a soulful, powerfully expressive vocalist as well as a supremely talented guitarist and all-round musician. The album also includes a crunching version of the John Lee Hookers classic Boom Boom, the song often a resonant inclusion in Maguire’s thrilling live shows.
