Paddy O'Hare in conversation with Oldham Chronicle journalist Simon Smedley (Part 1 of 2)

TO say guitar/vocalist Paddy O'Hare is a popular character on the Oldham and Saddleworth music scene would be something of an understatement. Rather Paddy, despite still only being 38, is most definitely a local legend. He's almost done it all in more than two decades since first deciding to pick up a guitar - a decision prompted by getting fed up playing in brass bands in which the instruments don't allow you to sing at the same time. Listen to his story, and his plans for a fun-filled 2016, as he speaks exclusively to Oldham Chronicle journalist Simon Smedley.
