Was at the concert in Drogheda. I probably was one of the oldest 75 but really enjoid. Brandon and Chris are good friends of mine. Please say hallo to them when you play again. Sometimes your guitar reminded me of Roy Buchanon
All the best

Pat, I just wanted to say a huge thanks for all that you, John and Tommy mean to me all these years later.
From trying to record "Needle in the groove" on a crappy handheld tape recorder when it was on MtUSA to having a huge argument with my mother when she wouldn't let me go see you guys when you played in Tralee...and all the while I listened to nothing but "Power and passion" on repeat.
I'm making it my mission to see you live this year so I can right the wrong from about 40 years ago!
Wishing you nothing but the absolute best, man
Cheers
Larry
Accidently seeing that your playing in Wetter, Germany in April, what ist not so far away from me. Maybe i will be there. Saw you last time supporting Gary Moore with the Mamas Boys in Cologne 1985 or something.
Superb set at Winterstorm Troon yet again ,great guitarists everywhere.
Was hoping to catch you again a bit closer to my Ayrshire home but fingers crossed will get to Kinross.
Hi Pat
I had a wee chat with you at Kinross earlier this year.
I went to Winterstorn in Troon to see you , Michael Shenker and Uli John Roth. What a bill in one wee town. Whislt my Young's are from County Down, my dad was born in Troon, almost my home town! ladyisle.com.
Bowled over by your performance, the ticket price was worth it for you alone. Your drummer really hits those ,skins hard and yourbass player is abolutely excellent which makes that a really tight unit.
There were loads of fantastic performances from all of the bands. None of the three guitarists I went to see disappointed, but a massive surprise was Chantel McGregor. 4 world class guitarists.in one place, wow.
Hopefully, I'll see you in Kinross next year maybe I can coax my wife as her family are from Arklow and she loved Garry Moore's music and Mamas Boys.
I spoke to lots of random fold and met a second cousin I have never spoken too before.. All were bowled over by your band.
Thank you so much.
Hi Pat, just a few lines to say how much I enjoyed the gig last Saturday night in Holywood. The band was really 'tight' and of course your playing was amazing. This was my first time seeing your band at I look forward to seeing you guys again.
Best wishes Harry (62, Strat)
'afternoon Pat and the Lads, What an awesome gig at The Halfmoon, Putney, on Wednesday... we couldn't believe the energy that you all loaded into every number . Being a smaller venue made it all the more memorable for us in the audience ..... massive thanks to you for yet another virtuoso performance.
Keep on keepin' on,
Mark Taylor
Hi Pat, John Murphy here ......I was so sorry to hear of the death of your dear Mam. It was a few days after that I heard the sad news (that "scut" Brendan Bannon) didn't tell me. I new she was in a nursing home in 'Skea and often meant to call but didn't get the opportunity. I've crazy fond memories of her singing with the Fab Dawnbreakers. God be with the days. Hope to meet you sometime on your travels. Regards and commiserations. John Murphy ( The Bridge).
We would be delighted if you would consider the above venue at some time this year
Regards Sean mcintyre
Hi, have you got any plans to do a gig in the Bradford area soon. Regards Tim
Just saw Pat and the guys at The Diamond Rock Club in Ahoghill on Saturday past (17th June) playing a set of all Mama`s Boys material.....Wow, turned the clock back many years for me. Looking forward to seeing the band at The Belfast City Blues Festival on Saturday coming

Hi Pat back fom Ballyshannon you sets that I saw were amazing loved Red House at the Gables show Thank you for an amazing time
Hi pat, just home from ballyshannon, what a blistering show u put on, especially loved the thin lizzy track you played on Sunday afternoon . As always your friendliness towards the fans never fails to impress me. Keep on rockn and hopefully see u in Westport or portlaoise later in the year????
A great show last night Rory Gallagher festival (2023) and loved the Mama's Boys additions, especially your encore of "Needle To The Groove" - worth the wait of 40 years to see you play it 🙂
PS My son though you were the most talented musician on stage last night - couldn't disagree!
HI Mr, I'm writing from France. I'd like to play Needle in the groove (like it from 80's), but i have no part or tab. Would you mind to help me? Many thanks!!!
Got honeytrapped last night while ROCKin´ in a free world... \m/
Was a very nice evening in Offenbach am Main. Thanks Pat and Band, Miriam
Any plans for a gig in South West England? 🙂
I can remember when I was a teenager back in the 80's and my uncle had a pub\show band premise in Culdaff, Donegal, i never forgot about him telling me he had Mama's Boys playing in there one night...and he remembered Pat showing local would be EVH's how he played some of the songs after the gig....must be 40 years ago now and I remember it like yesterday!
I also remember, around the time of the Power and Passion album, writing to the MB's fan club asking if they had a guitar tab book, their sister must have been in charge of the fan club and replied with a hand written note - lovely personal touch.
