Paddy and Bill.......Gigs, Info and Shite.....jan 16th '04
January 16, 2004
Hello there.........Happy 2004 to everyone........It was lovely to see so many of you over the holidays. We ran into many old friends. It brought back some great memories from past gigs. As you can see, Billy and I are holding up well. Our bellies are out there a little bit but I think that suggests character....right?......and investment.....and hard work.....and big tools........did I say that?........Anyway, thanks again for your continued support and friendship.
Laura (our webmaster and friend) has done a fantastic job with our website. We look very cool and professional thanks to her. Anyway, she has just started deleting some of the old gig pictures from the site to make more space and in their place put up some pages of the "best of" pics from various venues. Hope you like them. Everything you ever wanted to know (or would rather not know) about Bill and I is on these sites including a merchandise page with complete ordering capabilities. The address is www.paddygibney.com
This SUNDAY (Jan 18th) we play yet again in DL's Pub in The Gaslight Plaza on Ft. Bragg road (910-321-7600) from 6pm to 9pm.......It's an early show. We try to keep it a little G rated in case people want to bring the kids. It costs a couple of bucks to get in (No charge for children though). Owners David and Laura have great personalities and great food.......Laura is Russian. She has taken to bringing me and Bill shots of Absolute Vodka. Sooooooooo, we are absolutely fantastic by 9pm......It's a cool little pub. I hope some of you can make it.
Tonight, Friday (and Every Friday) we play in Wheeler's on Raeford Road in Fayetteville. These gigs have been getting better and better..........Every Thursday we play at Coaches on Bragg Blvd and every Tuesday at Huske Hardware in downtown Fayetteville.........NEXT Saturday (Jan 24th) we'll be back up in Durham at The James Joyce Pub.........That's about it folks. Thanks and appreciation to the boys and girls in the US Military. We are grateful to you for what you do for the rest of us. We wish you all a speedy return to your loved ones.
Keep your panties clean and put your best foot forward.
All the best,
Paddy

February 7, 2004
Hello Everyone
I hope all is well out there. Just a short note to annoy you all. I went to Coaches on Wednesday to catch the DL Token gig (they play there every Wed). They are a fantastic act. I think they have a great shot at actually getting somewhere in this silly business. Their website is DLToken.com. They are well worth checking out. Good luck to them.
*** We play at DL's Pub again tomorrow night (Sunday) from 6pm to 9pm.......DL's is in the Gaslight Plaza area of Ft. Bragg Rd (across from Tiny Town). It's $3 to get in. The food is fantastic. We're enjoying the people over there and the gigs are getting better each time. We're playing early so bring the kids. We keep things G rated.......well, when the kids are around. It's laid back and it provides a chance for us to play some real music. Anyway, it's something different. I hope some of you can drop by.***
As most of you know, we play every Tuesday at Huske Hardware, every Thursday at Coaches and every Friday at Wheeler's........Saturday Feb 21st we'll be in Durham at The James Joyce Pub.
***** Feb 26 thru 28 (Thurs, Fri, Sat) we'll be back down in Charleston, SC at Tommy Condon's Irish Pub. These gigs are brilliant fun. We'll be back down this way again in May, July and October. *****
Thanks to all of you for being on our mailing list and supporting what we do. I owe many of you return emails. I promise to get to them this week. Also, there has been a lot of activity on the websites especially the 'forum' section. Laura has brought the various entries to our attention recently. We'll be taking part in what's going on more often. Thanks to Laura Harper for all you do for us. We're blessed to have you.........and all the people who have helped us along the way. That's about it. Welcome home to our military friends who have just arrived home and best wishes to those who are leaving or have just left for duty overseas. We'll be praying for you. Thanks for what you do for all of us here at home. You have our deepest respect.
All the best,
Paddy

Hello everyone,
I'm just in from a show at Wheeler's tonight. Great crowd and a great show. Thanks to all of you who came to see us. Anyway, I thought I would send a quick reminder to you all about tonight (Saturday). We'll be up in Durham tonight at the James Joyce Pub. Sunday evening from 6pm to 9pm we'll be at DL's Pub on Ft. Bragg Road in Fayetteville. Our pal from WKML Radio, Davis Stone, the man who gave us our very first radio airplay will be playing with us. The food is great and the atmosphere is just like the old days......when no one gave a damn.......which is nice........
We'll be at Huske Hardware House on Tuesday as usual but, this coming weekend is the first of four weekends this year we'll be playing in Charleston at Tommy Condon's Pub. It's one of our favorite venues to perform. We'll be back to our normal weekly schedule the following week........Coaches on Thursday and Wheeler's on Friday. **** I have to give a shout out to DL Token.......they play at Coaches on wednesday's. They are a fantastic act in my opinion. Please support what they are doing. It's great for live music and great for this town. ****
Our website WWW.PADDYGIBNEY.COM has all relative info about us and what we do, including our cds and merchandise............we also have cds in music stores in Fayetteville and Wilmington. WWW.CDBABY.COM and WWW.ONLINEROCK.COM have our cds available too.
Very best wishes to the boys from WV and MN who are leaving for Iraq soon. Thanks to you and ALL the military boys and girls who protect our way of life. We are proud to live in this country. We pray for your safety and we are humbled by your commitment. We'll catch you along the road.
All the very best,
Paddy (and Mr. Billy)

Hello everyone,
We're enjoying a rare Saturday off. March is a busy month for us what with all the St. Patrick's Day activities so it's the calm before the storm in some ways. Last week in Charleston was wonderful as usual. We'll be back down that way in May. See the website for the gig schedule. Thanks to those of you who made the trip down to SC to see us play and thanks to the staff at Tommy Condon's who treat us so very well each and every time we play there. Our gratitude also to Josh, Amy, Veanna (the birthday girl) and all the lads and lassies who make us feel welcome in Charleston.
We'll be playing tonight (Sunday) at DL's Pub on Ft. Bragg road as we do every other Sunday. The gig is from 6pm to 9pm. Bring the kids if you like. We'll be good boys. Our regular gigs remain every Tuesday at Huske, every Thursday at Coaches, and every Friday at Wheeler's. On St. Pat's Day this year (Wednesday, March 17th) we'll be playing in Chapel Hill at the CHI PSI frat house on Cameron Ave......should be a laugh. Other than that all our regular gigs stay the same including Saturday, March 20th at The James Joyce Pub in Durham.
All relevant info about us including merchandise and gig pictures are all posted on the excellent website that Laura Harper has put together for us. She maintains it with love and care and we are forever grateful to her. The address is www.paddygibney.com. By the way, Billy has just recorded an entirely classical CD. There should be some info on the site about it soon if it's not there already. You'll get a chance to hear what this guy can actually do with his violin. It's fantastic.
We're making initial plans to record several shows this summer and put out at least one CD soon afterwards. We're thinking of including our new original song "Angel Dream" along with some of the more unusual 'live' stuff we do. It will be a little more serious than normal although we will have enough material recorded to possibly release another comedy based CD if the demand is there. Any ideas from you guys would be welcome. Also, any ideas you may have about songs you would like to see on these proposed recordings would be helpful.
That's about it. Thanks to all of you who support what we do. I hope this email finds you and yours happy and well. As always we give our respect and gratitude to the men and women of the US Military. We are proud of you and what you do and we are also proud to call many of you our friends. Where ever you may be you are in our thoughts and prayers every day.
Keep your panties clean and put your best foot forward.
All the best,
Paddy
PS........Look out for local band (and friends of ours) DL Token. They are playing a showcase at The Back Alley in Southern Pines on Saturday, March 20th. They are being checked out by a record label. We'll be
pulling for you lads. We wish you the very best of luck.
ADDENDUM: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 4:07 AM
Hello everyone,
I forgot to mention in the last email that we are playing this Saturday (March 13th) at The Gin Mill in Charlotte. It's our Charlotte St. Pat's Day gig. We have a lot of friends up that way. Margaret, Natalie, Ashley, and one of our favorite bands "Karma" also live and work in that town. I hope some of you can come out. The bar is located at 1411 S. Tryon St. The number is 704-373-0782. Thanks for your support. We'll see you along the road.
All the best,
Paddy

Wilmington Gig Saturday April 3rd.........Paddy And Bill
April 1, 2004
Hello everyone,
Just a short note to let you all know we will be playing in Wilmington this Saturday night (April 3rd) at the old Shanakee on Chestnut Street downtown. It is now called The Copper Penny. We're excited to be back down in Wilmington especially at this venue. We recorded our first 'live' record there in 1998 and we have many great memories from this place. It's Azalea Festival weekend in Wilmington so it should be a good night. We expect this to lead to regular gigs in Wilmington again. I'll let you know when we work it out. We have many old pals in Wilmington. I hope some of you can make it out. We'll start somewhere between 9pm and 10pm. There is no cover. From what I hear the bar has been totally remodelled and it looks well.
*********** We are changing our gigs at DL's in Fayetteville. We will no longer be playing every other Sunday. Instead we will be playing every other Wednesday night from 9pm to 12am. This begins next Wednesday, April 7th.********
Check the website for all details regarding gigs and everything else. The address is www.paddygibney.com
I owe many of you return emails (as usual). Sorry for the delay. I promise to get to everyone over the next few days. I hope you are all happy and well. Thanks for being on our mailing list and supporting what we do. Best wishes to all our Military boys and girls returning home from duty. To all those still away from home.......thanks for what you guys do for us. We're praying for your safe return. God Bless the USA.

Paddy and Bill.......DL's Pub EVERY Wednesday
April 13, 2004
Hello Everyone,
Apologies for another annoying mass email.........also, I apologize for not getting back to many of you who have emailed me personally recently. I will get back to you this week.
We have decided to play EVERY WEDNESDAY night at DL's Pub on Ft. Bragg Road in Fayetteville. It's a 9pm to 12 Midnight free gig. It's an earlier show than the others we play throughout the week and it seems to be popular enough to do it every week. I hope some of you can come out and support it.
Our regular shows remain every Tuesday at Huske, every Thursday at Coaches and every Friday at Wheelers..............This Saturday (April 17th) we'll be at The James Joyce in Durham. Saturday, April 24th we'll be back in Wilmington at The Copper Penny (formerly The Shanakee).
All details about the gig venues (and everything else about Bill and I and our music) can be accessed through our website WWW.PADDYGIBNEY.COM
I just listened to President Bush on TV. It's such a tough time for everyone in America and around the world. No one has all the answers. One has to do and believe what one thinks is right......and pray. Personally, I think of our Military men and women. I'm proud to live in Fayetteville and be surrounded by so many great people. Thanks for your service to mankind. I see so many of you come and go. We try to make your lives a little better the only way we know how..........through music. I feel lucky to be here. Thanks for caring about what Bill and I are doing. We sure care for you and all people.
We'll see you along the road.
All the best,
Paddy

Hello everyone,
Sorry about another mass email...........we're trying to get our wednesday evening gigs off the ground. We play at DL's Pub on Fort Bragg Road (across from Tiny Town and The Cadillac Ranch) in Fayetteville every Wednesday from 9pm to midnight. It's a great little bar with great food and two young at heart owners who we enjoy being around. It's been a little slow lately. I hope some of you can come to this show when you get the chance.
Thanks for the great turn out last Saturday in Wilmington at The Copper Penny. We'll be there again this Saturday (May 1st). We'll be playing there throughout the summer on different Saturday dates. All details are on the website www.paddygibney.com
Many of our friends are in the military. It's a tough time for everyone. We are grateful for your sacrifices. The US is a wonderful place to live. Thanks for protecting our freedoms. As always you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Take care of yourselves. We'll see you along the road.

Hello Everyone......
I hope all is well out there in the world. Just a short note to tickle your testicle......some people only have one........some people don't have any......we all know who they are.......sorry, how politically incorrect of me. I'm having a pint as I write this. That must be the problem.....
Bill and I have been swamped with shows lately. The crowds have been fantastic. We are both most grateful and quite surprised that we are still getting away with it! Thanks to all the Hashers who we played for in Pilot Mountain last Saturday night. I felt incredibly Catholic in your company. I have never been around so many naked people since the last time I was in Bill's house. It was a great night and I would recommend you guys to anyone, even The Pope.......
**** Our Wednesday gig at DL's Pub on Ft Bragg Road in Fayetteville has been cancelled for at least the next four Wednesdays..........the reason?.....a very Irish one.......a car ran off the main road last Sunday morning and crashed through the front of the pub......the wall was demolished along with a pool table, the bar itself and the main cooler. The owners David and Laura are such sweet people. We feel awful for them. We will all lend a hand however and help them rebuild. That's what it's all about anyway. I'll keep you posted about when we will be back there. It's weird. We had just decided to start playing nothing but original music on Wednesday nights......and this happens......the devil may be winning the fight.......or maybe it's just God giving us some time to learn our original work. I hope it's the latter! It will be nice to play a completely different show and it should bring a lot of our old pals out of the house for an evening.....I hope.****
Our regular gigs remain every Tuesday in Huske Hardware House, every Thursday in Coaches, and every Friday in Wheeler's..........Our Saturday gigs are usually different each week. We're off this Saturday but the following week (June 12th) we'll be in Durham at The James Joyce Pub and the week after that (June 19th) we'll be back in Wilmington at The Copper Penny.
Please visit our website and sign our guest book. Laura Harper has built us a world class website. The address is www.paddygibney.com There is a wealth of information and pictures from the gigs etc etc........all the info you may need about a couple of wankers like us (check out Bill's new classical CD) ......... All merchandise is now available through the site. It's fully secure and guaranteed.
That be it my friends. Thanks for your time and support. Very best wishes to all the men and women in the US Military both home and abroad. Thank you for what you do for all of us. We're proud of you and we pray for your safe return. Sleep well tonight.
All the best,
Paddy

June 15, 2004
Hello there,
Thanks for all the lovely replies to my sentimental message last Friday night. I was very moved by the reaction. It's amazing how a few pints can open you up.......before they close you down. Bill and I are learning some new songs at last. We'll introduce them over the next few weeks and see what happens. It takes us ages to get some things done but we get there in the end.
We'll be in Wilmington this Saturday at The Copper Penny (June 19th) and again two weeks later on July 3rd. We'll be back at Tommy Condon's in Charleston on July 22nd, 23rd and 24th.
Our regular gigs remain every Tuesday at Huske Hardware House, every Thursday at Coaches and every Friday at Wheelers. The home of our Wednesday night shows, DL's, is still being repaired after a car crashed into the building. I'm quite sure there might be a few people out there who would like to crash a car into a venue where we are playing.......just wait 'til we're gone will you?.....we've a few more pints to drink yet. Anyway, good luck to David and Laura trying to get the place back together again. We're looking forward to starting an original music only night at DL's as soon as things are back up and running.
Please check out our website for all relevant information about us. WWW.PADDYGIBNEY.COM There's some great pictures from the gigs courtesy of Laura Harper (whose birthday we celebrated last week). The merchandise section contains all our crap. Actually, we'll have a couple more t-shirt designs available within the next two weeks and we'll be discontinuing a couple of the old designs.
That's it boys and girls...... I hope this finds you all well. Thanks for being on the mailing list. Best wishes to all our military folks. You are in our thoughts and prayers always. Thanks for what you do. We'll see you along the road.
All the best,
Paddy

Hello boys and girls,
Belated happy July 4th. Hope it was nice. I was at the beach. I spent two minutes in the sun and now I am burned to a crisp. Gotta love that Irish skin. I feel like my nose will fall off at any minute. Anyway, it's back to music, bars and Guinness again. Huske Hardware House is closed for vacation at the moment so that's why we were not there on Tuesday last. Sorry to those who showed up. I had no time to email people.
****** We are taking next week off. We need a little time for family and other things. SOoooooo, we will NOT be at Huske on Tuesday(July 13th), Coaches on Thursday or Wheeler's on Friday.******
We'll be playing in Durham tomorrow night (Saturday) at The James Joyce Pub. It's been a month since we were up there. Should be a laugh. Great Guinness in that place.
We'll be back in Charleston at Tommy Condon's from July 22-24.
We just came out with some new t-shirts including a female shirt. There will be some pictures on the website next week. The website address is www.paddygibney.com Thanks to Laura Harper for building us a world class website. Please visit and sign the guestbook.
That's it lads and lassies. Another boring, impersonal, mass email for you. Sorry about that.........thanks for all the support. Take care of yourselves. Love and best wishes to our Military. Thanks for what you are doing for us. We'll see you along the road.
All the best,

Hello boys and girls..........We are on vacation this week (Billy left town this morning) but I will be around tomorrow night (Tuesday) so I have decided to play the Huske Gig regardless. Of course, it will not be the same as having Bill with me but I'll give it a shot. Hope some of you can make it out.
All the best,
Paddy
ADDENDUM: July 15, 2004
Hello boys and girls,
Thanks to those of you who came by Tuesday at Huske. Of course, it wasn't the same not having Billy there but I enjoyed the night nonetheless. We won't be at Coaches tonight but Bill will be back in town tomorrow (Friday) so we're going to go ahead and play Wheeler's tomorrow night. We'll be in Charleston next weekend.
Thanks for being on the mailing list. Take care of yourselves.

July 29, 2004
Hello there,
Thanks to all who came out to see us last weekend in Charleston. We had three great nights down there......as usual. Laura has put all the gig photos on the site......great memories indeed. (www.paddygibney.com)
We're back to our normal schedule this week (Tuesday @ Huske Hardware, Thursday @ Coaches, and Friday @ Wheeler's). This Saturday we will be playing at a new venue in Wilmington. We have enjoyed being back in that area over the last few months. The Copper Penny venue and staff are fantastic and we will continue to play there. This Saturday, however, we will be playing at Hell's Kitchen (910-763-4133) on Princess Street, downtown Wilmington. My sister, brother, sister-in-law, and my nephew live in Wilmington so I want to be down there as much as possible. Playing regularly at both Wilmington venues should allow that to happen. I hope some of you can come to the gig on Saturday night and support us for our first show in this bar. It would be nice to get off to a good start.
The website contains all our info with merchandise and gig pictures etc etc. Thanks to Laura Harper for her love and hard work. We are truly lucky to have her on our team. Take care of each other out there in the world. We wish you and yours all the very best and we hope to see you along the road.
Special thanks and respect to our Military friends far and wide. God bless you all. We wish you a safe and speedy return to your families and friends.
All the best,
Paddy

Hello peoples..............Sorry, here's another annoying email for you lads and lassies........Just got home from Wheeler's. It was a little slow but enjoyable nonetheless. We only drank a couple of beers tonight...........honest. I haven't misspelled anything have I?.......We'll be up at The James Joyce (Durham, NC) tomorrow tonight (Sat 8/14) weather permitting. There's a hurricane on the way. God bless all of you in Florida. I hope everything is OK down your way.
Please include Laura Harper's Mom in your prayers. She's quite sick right now and she may not be with us much longer. We love you Laura and we're thinking of you and all your family........our family.
As always, we're in Huske Hardware every Tuesday, Coaches every Thursday and Wheeler's every Friday.

Hello Hello
I hope all is well out there. Bill and I have been working our testes off. So much so that I feel like a woman these days. That's why I never go out. I'm a happy woman....... Anyway, enough shite I hear you say.
We have a fairly full schedule as usual with our regular gigs going steady (Tuesdays @ Huske, Thursdays @ Coaches, and Fridays @ Wheelers) and some out of town Saturday shows coming up over the next several weeks.
This Saturday ( Aug 28th) we'll be in Wilmington again @ Hell's Kitchen. It'll be our second time there so far. That gig should grow really well for us. I hope those of you who live down that way can come along.......... Sat (Sept 4th) we're back in Durham @ The James Joyce Pub and Sat (Sept 11th) we'll be playing for the first time in Columbia, SC @ Delaney's Pub.
Details of all our shows, merchandise, info etc etc are on our website WWW.PADDYGIBNEY.COM. Thanks to Laura Harper for your fantasic work on the website.
Bill and I are thankful to all of you for coming to the gigs, being on the mailing list, buying us alcohol when we work, offering us your wives and girlfriends and sometimes your husbands......... what a fanbase! Seriously, thanks for giving a s....
I owe many of you return emails. I have been swamped lately but I'm finally turning my computer on again so you will be hearing from me within the next couple of days. Sorry for the long delay waiting for a response to personal emails. What can I say? Could I be more of a wanker?
Finally, we send our very best wishes and gratitude to the boys and girls in the US Military. Many of you are overseas right now. You are not forgotten. Thanks for what you are doing for the world. Come home safe.
All the best,
Paddy

Gigs and Vacation........Paddy and Bill.....Oct 8th, 2004.
October 8, 2004
Hello mes amies......
Sorry to fill up your inboxes with this shite but's its enjoyable annoying people sometimes......actually, we get paid for it......only in America......Anyway, we play Wheeler's tonight (Friday) and Hell's Kitchen in Wilmington tomorrow night (Sat, Oct 9th). We are then taking a couple of weeks off. It's been a full year since we had a break so we figure we deserve it. It's back breaking work this bloody music thing you know!......Swilling pints and belting out songs, developing the tool shed and killing brain cells......Well, I'm off home to see the family and drink some fresh Guinness.
Our first gig after the holiday will be in Charleston at Tommy Condon's, Thurs, Fri, Sat (October 28, 29 & 30). We'll be back for our regular weekly shows the following week of Nov 1st with Sat Nov 6th putting us at The James Joyce in Durham.
Thanks for all the support this year and always. Stay in touch with us through the website... WWW.PADDYGIBNEY.COM Laura Harper, our resident angel, has done a wonderful job with the sites. Many of you have met her at the shows. She does what she does out of love and it shows. Sign the guestbook if you get a chance. Merchandise ordering info, gig pictures etc etc is all on there.
We live in a military town so we are constantly reminded of the sacrifices military families make. It's a pleasure to be around so many heros. Thanks for what you do and safe home to all of you overseas. We'll see you along the road.
All the best,
Paddy

We're back.......Happy November........
November 2, 2004
Hello pals and wankers alike..........Bill and I are back from our little hiatus. I spent a nice couple of weeks in Ireland being nourished by fresh Guinness and Smithwicks. Billy took his harem to Mydixadrill, Utah for a Polygamist convention......We played Charleston this past weekend. It was brilliant as usual. Thanks to all the lunatics who came along each night. Check out the pictures from the gigs on the website...... www.paddygibney.com
It's Tuesday, November 2nd.....election day. Get out there and vote. It's a privilege..... We're now back to our normal gig schedule..... We'll be in Huske Hardware House tonight (Tuesday) as usual, Coaches on Thursday, and Wheelers on Friday. (By the way, Maggie, Autumn, and Nola Ann from the Wheelers staff came to Charleston last Friday night. Several local men were beaten, raped and relieved of their love muscles. Police are investigating.) Saturday (Nov 6th), we'll be up in Durham at The James Joyce Pub. Saturday, November 13th sees us back down in Wilmington at Hell's Kitchen.
We talked recently about doing another 'live' gig recording soon. It might be nice to do it before Christmas. I'll let you know if it's possible. This one however, will be eleven different versions of Amazing Grace......he he.... No no, we'll belt out some of the new 'live' tunes and see what happens. Any ideas for this record from you lot would be welcome. Drop me a line.
That's it lads and lassies. I hope this finds you all well and satisfied. Thanks for being on our mailing list and for reading this shite. There's a tear in my beer. Take care of yourselves.
All the best,
Paddy

"LIVE" Gig Recording @ Wheeler's on Friday, Nov 19th, 2004
November 11, 2004
Hello everyone,
I hope all is well out there. Bill and I have decided to do another 'live' CD. I'm not sure what the exact format will be yet but we'll go ahead and record next Friday's Wheeler's show (November 19th) and see what we end up with. We haven't put anything out since March of 2002 so it's about time to cause some trouble again. Come along if you can. It should be a sight to behold. We'll be trying to lay off the alcohol so at least we can get a few songs down that turn out reasonable. So, DON'T FEED THE MUSICIANS PLEASE....... Well, maybe a pint and a shot but that's all.....well, we'll chat about it on the night.......
We'll be in Wilmington at Hell's Kitchen this Saturday (Nov 13th) and our regular gigs remain every Tuesday at Huske Hardware House, every Thursday at Coaches, and every Friday at Wheeler's.
Check out our website for all relevant information about us including gigs photos, merchandise etc etc. The address is www.paddygibney.com
We have many friends here in the military leaving for duty overseas and many who are already in the thick of things. God Bless you all and thank you for your service to the world. We'll see you along the road.
All the best,
Paddy

First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to one and all. I love the concept of this holiday. It's nice to stop your life for a day (if you can) and say thanks. We all have much to be grateful for. "There's always someone worse off then yourself" as they say in Ireland. I know that many of you on this mailing list are away from your families, as I am from mine. We're thinking of you and wishing you well and a safe return home soon.
Last Friday's 'live' recording at Wheeler's went very well. It was a record night in terms of the amount of people at the show and receipts at the bar. It was also a record because most people couldn't get alcohol to the stage due to the throng of lunatics barricading us in so Bill and I remained relatively sober. I remembered the words of most of the songs and I didn't sound like Sylvester the cat. Nobody puked on us or knocked anything down. Hopefully that will all reflect well when we listen to the recording and start putting a collection of songs together for the CD. I would imagine that the disc will be in our hands sometime in January. It will be available online, at the gigs, and at most local and NC record stores. Check out the website for photos from the night. It was fantastic. Thanks for being part of it.
We'll be in Charlotte this Saturday (Nov 27th) at The Gin Mill on South Tryon Street (704-373-0782). The Panthers are playing at home so it should be a good time. Next Saturday we'll be playing a party for the Carolina Hashers, a bunch of wild lads and lassies some of whom were at Wheeler's last Friday. Saturday, Dec 11th we'll be back up in Durham at The James Joyce. Our regular gigs remain every Tuesday at Huske, every Thursday at Coaches, and every Friday at Wheeler's.
******We WILL be playing at Coaches this Thursday, Thanksgiving Night******
Again, many thanks for your support and very best wishes to you and yours over the holiday season. We'll see you along the road. To our Military boys and girls...... Thank You.
All the best,
Paddy

Hello Everyone,
Just in from another good show at Wheeler's here in Fayetteville, NC........I probably should be in bed but these exciting musical nights can often lead to being up far too late..... for no good reason of course........ We'll be in Durham tomorrow night....excuse me.....tonight......at The James Joyce Pub........We'll be in Wilmington next Saturday (Dec 18th) at Hell's Kitchen.
I hope this finds you all happy and well. Check out our website for embarrassing pictures, merchandise etc etc......... www.paddygibney.com

Paddy & Bill Gigs...............Happy 2005
December 28, 2004
Hey guys,
I hope you folks had a nice time over the holidays and, of course, Happy New Year to you all. We had a few days off and it was quite welcome. I have been laid out with a cold so my singing would have been even worse than normal had we been booked to perform. One spoonful of Guinness three times a day seems to have made me well. It's amazing stuff that.......Anyway, we're all set for New Year's Eve at Wheeler's here in Fayetteville. It will be just like a normal show in terms of cost to get in etc so don't worry about being charged a bunch of cash to come out and play with us on that night. Nathan Davis will be doing a few songs with us at some point in the night. He is a long time friend of ours and he is a fantastic songwriter and performer. It should be wonderful.
Our regular gigs remain every Tuesday at Huske Hardware House, every Thursday at Coaches, and every Friday at Wheeler's. We are all over the place on Saturdays but we are off this Saturday (Jan 1st).....thank God...... Sat, Jan 8th we're in Wilmington again. After that we have a run of Saturday gigs in South Carolina which will include visits to Columbia, Spartanburg and Charleston.......Check the web site for all details..... www.paddygibney.com The site contains everything you need to know about a couple of wankers like me and Bill. Sign the guest book if you get a chance. It's nice to get some feedback.
I have no real information about the new CD as of yet apart from the fact that the recording turned out well and you can basically understand what we are singing and talking about. How exciting is that? That's never happened before! I would imagine it will be available by the end of January or early February. You will be able to pre-order it through the site as soon as we have made some decisions about the disc and can move forward.
That's it boys and girls. Thanks again for all the support. If you happen to be on this mailing list by mistake, tough shit. We're not taking you off. We are on a mission from God to basically annoy people. Thanks for understanding........Once again, Happy 2005. Remember to keep your panties clean and put your best foot forward.
All the best,
Paddy
PS........To our boys and girls in the Military (especially to those serving the US overseas).... ........We miss you all and we are grateful for your sacrifice. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. I wish you all a safe and speedy return home.
