Pat Coldrick in the BAG

You may have heard this amazing Irish guitarist on Pat Kenny's Radio 1 show recently, writes Roy Thompson of the Ballymore Acoustic Gigs. Well now you can hear him up close and personal as he pays his first visit to Ballymore.

In conversation with Pat he stressed that this is not a classical guitar recital; his live performance is highly interactive, and his rapport with his audience is warm, friendly and informal.

Born in Navan and now living in Howth, Pat Coldrick has been playing and studying classical guitar since he was 12 years old. Initially self taught, Pat went onto study music at the College of Music in Dublin and also had the opportunity to study under world renowned guitarists David Russell and Gabriel Esterellas.

Through his session and classical work, he has achieved some of the highest honours in Feis Ceoil Awards and has made a number of appearances on national TV shows on RTE and TV3 and guested on a number of radio interviews and live performances on RTE Radio 1 and Lyric FM. He has also been invited to perform at festivals in the United States and Austria.

Experiencing Pat Coldrick live offers a unique opportunity to enjoy his varied repertoire and own material, in an informal relaxed atmosphere.
