Paddy Sherlock & the Swingin' Lovers
Paddy Sherlock & the Swingin' Lovers
Think Frank Sinatra, think Fred Astaire but then think of swing's shadow world.
A world inhabited by the hobo counter- culture of the
1930's.
The music as it was away from the glitzy world of Hollywood.
Now bring it up to date - to the 21st century.
This is a band dancing to the joys of life somewhere between the Stray Cats and Louis Jordan, Nat King Cole and Dr. John.
With the Paddy Sherlock & the Swingin' Lovers, anything goes! From Bunk to Monk through skunk, junk, punk and funk...
Paddy's famous COOLIN session in downtown Paris runs throughout the spring
season - every SECOND Sunday.
