Newtown cafe circuit and even the Sando once (the band failed to show) … "My credo is Australian stories. My music has been variously described ,but mostly played or sung, and on occasions just banged along to. The style has been called zenpunkcountryandfolkwestern by marketeers, but I just call myself Paddy Tobin. " Paddy's music is Instrumental to Lyrical, with the accent on complexity and diversity of voices through spontaneous audience participation, and empathy.
