Mama's Boys blew me away when I first heard them supporting the Scorpions at Sheffield City Hall back in the 80's.
Ever since that gig, I've loved their music.
Many years later, went to see Pat's band in Leicester last year and they were fantastic. So glad he's still paying and can't wait to see him again. Amazing musician!

Good afternoon Pat,
Looking at your live gig list, we see that Belgium is not mentioned. We usually see you performs in Verviers.
Any idea when your next stop in Belgium is?
See you !
Admin Reply by: Pat
Unfortunately we couldn't get a date in Verviers to match when we are over this time..perhaps we might see you elsewhere

Hello Pat I saw your fantastic show on April 19th, 2024 at Earth Music in Wetter. You and your band are wonderful musicians. My wife and I really enjoyed the concert and are looking forward to a repeat. What is the name of the great instrumental song after the short break? Wish you and your team all the best Markus
Admin Reply by: Pat
Hi Markus...thank you to you and your wife and I am glad you enjoyed the show at Wetter.The instrumental after the break was called " His Soul Remains "...it is on my last studio album " Full Service Resumed " once again thank you and we hope to see you both in the near future - Pat

Hi Pat
Just to say thanks for another amazing concert at Kinross last night. Brought wife and she was on a high afterwards couldn't believe you and the band were so good particularly when she thinks most of my music collection is shite.
Yep I'm the bearded longhaired ginger guy.
What a complete trio you are, Great music with so much fun.
Still got my original VHS tape from when you were on Cue the Music.
Admin Reply by: Pat
Hey Lindsay...was our pleasure as always and so glad noth you and your wife enjoyed your evening with us...cue the music...best wishes - Pat

Intimate gig at this small venue in Kinross, Scotland
As a lifelong Rory Gallagher fan I first saw you guys in Ballyshannon 2004 at the Dorian’s Hotel and was immediately hooked. Last nights gig was amazing and hope to see you again. Rock On Pat

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

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).
Admin Reply by: Pat

Hope all is ok with you..Pat
