Listen back to me performing "Break The Block" on BBC Radio Manchester's Mike Sweeney show on Friday 25th July Live from Ashton Market & Farmers' Market. Complete with fluffed lyric in the second verse, that's how new the song is I guess!

Break The Block - Live on BBC Radio Manchester (25 July 2014)

Saturday 20th January 2013, after our gig together in Oldham the night before, I was asked by db Band to support them in Chester at The Compass and play some lead guitar on a track live with them. This is the audio taken from a video shot on the night of their song "Falling Down."
db Band are Mick Quinn (Formerly of Supergrass), Paul "Fab" Wilson & Nick Aspey.

db Band ft Paddy O'Hare - Falling Down (Live at Compass Chester 20/04/13)

I learnt the song this morning, then recorded very quickly on Cubase in an hour, rough mix down, and here it is! My acoustic cover of Zero 7's "In The Waiting Line." 

In The Waiting Line - Zero 7 (Cover)

Paddy was previously front man of Manchester based band Blue Thatcher. After a short lived band The Crusade he partnered in a roots project with Mike Sweeney known as "Mike Sweeney & Paddy O'Hare".

In 2009 he was Producer and co-host on Steve Berry's Breakfast Show on 106.1 Rock Radio, also producing shows with Mike Sweeney and Moose. He has also done sessions and live work with solo artists Aron Paul and Risa Hall, and was born and raised in Uppermill, Saddleworth.

On the page here you will find the original 2006 Blue Thatcher EP "Wayne / Gentle Surprise", and also the unfinished single "Nanny State" 2007. Three tracks recorded in May 2014 at SSR Spirit Studios Manchester, along with some live material. 

"A piercing and perfectly pitched lead vocal turns some great songs into something special."

"Where trad-folk was absent, however, a traffic-stopping voice was not, and his had enough vocal horse-power to get Clarkson itching for a test-drive. 'Love Conquers All' was dedicated to the hungover amongst us (which included at least 97% of patrons), culminating in a vital blast of Nurofen in some heartening "aaah, ooh, aah oh oooh"s. "

"Particular note to Paddy there, the lead guitar was terrific!"
