Adam: How was the LA experience with Producer George Drakoulias (known for his work with Tom Petty, The Black Crowes, Rhett Miller, Jayhawks, Screaming Trees and Tift Merit)?
Paddy: It was cool. George is a good guy to be around, he’s a big music fan, so I was introduce to artists I never would have heard of. He hooked us up with some great session players, people who have played on some tracks that I love..

Adam: What’s the track “Addicted to Company” about?
Paddy: Addicted to Comapany is just like saying..its ok just to be with people and maybe that’s all there really is to life…and the rest is just extra..

Adam: What are some of your favourite local Irish musicians?
Paddy: I love Peter Moore.. he plays a dirty Telecaster the way it should be played…there is loads of musicians with great songs..I reckon if u picked everyone’s 1 or 2 best songs you’d have one of the best albums ever..from the likes of Sinead Martin, Damien Dempsey, Glen Hansard, Pat Barret, Dermot Barret, Alice Djago, Terry Sutton..its a big list,I’ll leave it there..

Adam: What do you miss the most about Ireland when you are away on tour?….
Paddy: sleep, my dog and daughter Saoirse…
