Hello boys and girls…..
Hope all is well on your end. Life’s been a little crazy around here for me. The new pub is coming along well. I still haven’t had a decent nights sleep in two months but, there is a little light at the end of the
tunnel now….I think. Laura has put together another great web site that details everything going on at this new Irish watering hole in Fayetteville. The address is
www.paddygibneypub.com
Bill and I are playing there on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. We will continue to travel out of town most Saturdays especially since Ethan Hanson is keeping the stage busy and the folks entertained at our
new Pub (on Saturday’s that is)…….Coming soon on Sundays we will have traditional Irish music from 5 to 6pm by Celtic Museum followed by a pub quiz…..more to follow on that…….
Every Thursday starting at 6pm Kerstin is hosting our Martini Club…….We’re two weeks in and it feels like it will be a great success…….specialty martinis each week……food provided……mostly women….and
one or two wankers who think they’re James Bond…..what can you do?
This Saturday myself and Billy will be back down in Wilmington at Hell’s Kitchen……..come by and say hello……..
Thanks for giving a S—-…………See you along the road.
All the best,
Paddy

Paddy & Bill Gigs……..news, info and general shite
Posted by PaddyG
Hello boys and girls…….
It’s been a while I know. For those of you who may have been in my company recently and commented on my noassatall look well, it’s because I have been working it off….for a change. Bill and I have been
playing at a place called Wheeler’s every Friday night for the last five years or so. About a month ago, James and Chester Wheeler gave me an opportunity to buy it. It felt like the right thing to do so I decided
to throw my life away as I know it and try this bar business thing. So far it has thouroughly kicked my arse!
We have worked hard over the past few weeks and we are well on our way to making this little place an Irish pub. Check out the link to the pub on our web site or just go directly there at
www.paddygibneypub.com
It’s an exciting time. It’s also a scary time…..for all the obvious reasons as well as some things I would never have thought of………ABC Laws, downpayments for this and that, taxes, the health board, etc…..
everyone’s got their hands out it seems. It’s a pain in the left testicle but, we’ll soldier on regardless and hope for the best. I’m grateful and humbled for all the wonderful messages of love and support. I’m grateful
for the many friends who have helped me directly with this project, painting and cleaning etc……you know who you are.
We opened last Friday and Saturday to test the water…….this week we will open tonight (Thursday) through Saturday and then we will open every day starting next Wednesday……Doors open at 4pm…..come
by and/or check the pictures out online and let me know what you think……
For the time being Bill and I will continue to play our regular gig schedule……..we haven’t figured out all the details yet but we will probably end up playing in the new pub more than just on Fridays…..We’ll let
you know……for now, we’re at Huske on Tuesdays, Skip’s on Thursdays and what’s now called Paddy’s (who’s that wanker?) on Fridays……..we’ll probably continue to travel on Saturdays. *******This Saturday
we’re back in Raleigh at Tir na nOg*******…….Next Saturday is of course St. Patrick’s Day and we will be playing at my new place……..we open at Noon.
That’s it mes amies. I hope this message finds you well and at peace. God Bless our military boys and girls. We’re so proud of you. We’ll see you along the road.
All the best,
Paddy
PS Keep your panties clean and put your best foot forward.
