The country needs a good dose of humour at a time like this and no better man than Paddy Cullivan to administer it. Paddy is a musician (Camembert Quartet), satirist (Leviathan) and The Late Late Show house band leader (though I kinda wish he was our leader too) and ‘We Are Where We Are’ is his new EP.
Officially launched by the title track’s co-author Ryan Tubridy (is there anything this man won’t try his hand at?), the event at The Mercantile attracted a large number of people from the world of music and showbiz. Despite the fact that Paddy had spent the morning distributing copies of the CD to TD’s arriving at the Dail for Leaders Question Time there weren’t many politicians in attendance.
The five-track EP available to purchase online via http://www.paddycullivan.com/ for just €4.95, is described by Paddy as “brilliant protest songs for these hard times, based on the cliché-ridden drivel spouted by unrepentant financiers, incompetent politicians and a lazy media. Musically brilliant, lyrically razor-sharp and intentionally hilarious - though at times poignant.”
