Well, never mind just St Paddy's Day..it was a great St Paddy's weekend. All of our venues were well attended and everyone knew how to have a great time.

Starting at Coco Jarry's in Renfrew and working our way up the The Douglas Tavern in Douglas. We saw a lot of green over the weekend.

Then Monday was a double header!! Starting with a great crowed at the Heart and Crown and ending up as a hoot at the Windsor Tavern in Buckingham.

Some new pictures to see so hope you enjoy.

We will try to keep you posted with more news!

Well, the CD release party put on by Blessed Scrament Parish was a great success. We sang to a sold out crowd of 200 people and according to the feedback, they could have sold more!!

We had the pleasure of the Trillium Accademy of Irish Dance feature some great entertainment and really pleased the crowd.

Chris Honegger then joined in with us to finish the evening off with lots of dancing.

But, I must say, the highlight was Fr Joe's "chicken song"!

Thanks to all those who made this a great success and helped sell our CD! And by the way, the jumbo was good!

Check out some new photo's of the evening.

We have been blessed. Especially by our friends and Blessed Sacrament Parish!!

They have offered their hall and services for another Ottawa CD release party.

So, for all those who missed out the first time, come on down on Feb 29th for an Irish Party.

This is also a fund raiser for the parish, so please do your part.

Yes, as per your request, I will try to update some new events that have taken place..and include some new pictures.

But thanks for your continued support and keep on checking out our web site.

Thanks to all of the Maher family for asking me to Melita's birthday party.

Mother McGunty's was overun with people and well wishers, along with dancers, singers and entertainers.

The Jazz band was a great idea and suited the occasion.

Of course, Paddy and I lent a hand along with Gerry O'Neil for a few tunes.

Best wishes to Melita for many more years to come. Looking forward to the next party!

A great time was had by all in the Johnstown Community Centre on the 26th of January. A full hall who enjoyed some of the readings of Robbie Burns along with a wonderfull dinner.

Follow, of course, by ourselves. But just to add some spice, we were joined by our good freind, Mr. Gerry O'Neill. The music is majic and the hospitality superb.

Thanks for a wonderfull time!

Wishing everyone a happy and prosperous New Year.

Once again, our special New Years Eve dance for the KAS in Maxville was a great success.

Joining us was our favorite drummer, Chris Honegger and all the way from Greenfield, Mr Gerry O'Neill.

Everyone enjoyed the night and once again the highlight was...of course...the Paul Jones.

However, since not many peope know the name anymore...I think I will change it to the"'Paul Villeneuve". What do you think!!

The 2 Paddys would like to extend the warmest of congratulations to Paul Villeneuve and Bobby-Joe on the birth of their first baby girl.

Keep up the good work!!

A great time was had by all.

Special thanks to those guest artists who offered there time to make the afternoon as success.

Along with members of the Trillium Accademy of Irish Dance.

What a great night. Thanks to all the musicians who lent a hand! The music was fantastic.

The Brigadoons started the show off in great style. Ashley MacLeod then hit the stage after "The 2 Paddys" and was joined by a group of the best musicians around. Kelsey McDonell on piano, Neil Emburg on Guitar and by surprise, Bobby Lalonde joined in on bass along with Adam Lalonde on the Jembee. What a great sound.
Repeat performances were many along with a visit from several fiddlers who did a great set for us.

Later it developed into a jam session with Bob Burnie, Neil MacDonell and Gerry O'Neill. It wasn't long and we wrapped up the eveing by inviting "The Fridge full of Empty's in on the fun. Paul Villeneuve and Mark Hall graced the stage.

Thank you to all the freinds who came out to listen to the great afternoon of entertainment.

Well, better late than never. It has been mentioned that we need to update our site with various tidbits of news.

Well, this year, Paddy Kelly was inducted into the Glengarry Celtic Music Hall of Fame.

It is quite an honor and I much appreciate the support of the local community.

Thank you to all.
