| PADDY-B. & Celtic Express is the most
important band of three professional musicians in Portugal playing
traditional Irish Folk music with style and quality. On stage, these
highly-talented musicians give a complete impression of this wonderful
music with all the songs and dance tunes like jigs, reels, hornpipes,
polkas, O´Carolan tunes,
with most of the typical instruments
like the uillean-pipes (Irish bagpipes), wooden flute, Tin- Whistle,
Bodhran, Bones,
. |

PADDY-B. has more than 35 years of experience
in the world of Irish music. He has played thousands of concerts
all over the world, in sessions with the greatest musicians on TV-
and Radio shows. Paddy is the "driving force" and musical
organizer of the company. He is the lead singer and a real master
on many different instruments like: Mandola, Mandolin, Irish Bouzouki,
Greek Bouzouki, Banjo, Bodhran, Bones, Guitar, Tin- Whistle,
During the concerts or shows Paddy gives short and
amusing introductions to the instruments, songs or tunes. He can
do that in different languages: German (born in Germany), English,
(maybe an Irishman in his last life???), in French (loves Red Bordeaux),
Portuguese (if necessary) or fids in some words in other languages.
But his common language with his audience is the music.

| Alice Cade, a great
master on the Irish wooden flute, the Tin-Whistle and the Irish (Uillean)
- pipes. She knows how to transport her great love and feeling for
the music with an excellent handling on all her instruments. (breathtaking
- not easy for a flute- player!!!) In between the concerts Alice shows
some magic steps to the music. (studied dance at Laban- University
in London.) |
| Tom Hamilton is the hard working musician,
creating the strong and mighty background for the sensitive songs
and tunes on guitars in different open tunings and plays the pedal-
bass at the same time. He gives the special groove and sound to the
music - sometimes including Blues and Rock elements. |
| All together play with love and feeling and enjoy
every moment on stage. With their warm-hearted and normal appearance
after the shows together with their audience they answer all kinds
of questions including: would you like to have a drink with me? |
| But to top that great music they perform as well
as PADDY-B. & Celtic Express Show. AIGAEL is a group of
4 world-class dancers (all former members of RIVERDANCE and LORD OF
THE DANCE). The choreographic leader is Angela O'Connor, the former
world championship- and lead dancer in Michael Flatley´s STORMFORCE. |
|
These 7 elements on stage present
a high-speed show of Traditional- Irish- Folk- music and dance.
One of the highlights of the shows is to include the audience in
some easy dances. Whoever has danced hand-in-hand with one of these
ballerinas and whoever saw this show will never forget that in his
whole life.
