Paddy Burgin lives in New Zealand making  guitars for a living but often finds himself sitting in the workshop composing songs at the workbench. Many of these songs have wound up on CDs by his band, Paddy Burgin and the Wooden Box Band, or other groups that he plays in. For more info you could see me at www.paddyburginmusic.com or download his music at https://itunes.apple.com/nz/album/old-world/id736713290
The Wooden Box Band comprises members of Little Bushman, Nudge, Jessie James and the Outlaws and the Dunstan Rangers and together these musicians have a unique take on New Zealand urban folk. 
Using double bass, keyboards, percussion and guitars they create an organic sounding  electric and acoustic background for  Paddy's songs and instrumentals about the places and people of these small islands. 
  

Now, just behind this drawn curtain, beyond this static veil, I know you are there. Like beacons of unfiltered humanity your bravest dreams are real and they reach me even in the most remote and ancient ocean abyss. They are magic. Oh, magnificent invisible gods I’ve been trying to write a poem for you. 

These recordings can be divided into three (Four if you count cover versions of my songs by other SC artists) unfit categories; Butterflies songs, Waltz Bros. Songs and Pall of a Past World songs. Butterflies were a three and four piece band of which I was a member. The band released two albums and several singles 
during it’s run in the mid to late nineties. The Waltz Bros. Is my most current project consisting of myself and Matt Wilson with occasional help from friends. Pall of a Past World consist of things that I’ve done that don’t fit into either of those titles.
