SUMMARY:Paahto & The Bull
LOCATION:Manchester Gullivers
DESCRIPTION:- Paahto & The Bull is the guitar-duo project of Patrick “Pa
 ahto” Cummins and John Francis Flynn. Having met and played together sin
 ce 2011 and having cut their teeth at The Maple Hotel on Dublin’s Gardin
 er Street\, Paahto and John helped form the Irish traditional group Skippe
 r’s Alley in 2013 and would remain long-term sparring partners and an in
 tegral cog in Dublin’s traditional and folk music communities. Once Ther
 e Was A King was another of their musical endeavours which reached into a 
 progressive musical space in its short-lived timespan. However\, as with a
 ny collaboration between these two players\, Paahto & The Bull is beyond a
  meeting of two musical minds and encompasses a very personal element.Duri
 ng the covid-19 pandemic\, the pair experimented with music on two guitars
  inspired by Paahto’s interest in bluegrass flat-picking and John’s ve
 ry original approach to accompaniment. Beginning with just an Instagram pa
 ge to post some amateur material\, Paahto & The Bull decided to take the p
 roject more seriously and gradually worked towards recording an album with
  the help of Brendan Jenkinson and Ben Rawlins. The ethos for the duo has 
 always been to focus on simplicity and only features the musicians playing
  their guitars despite them both being multi- instrumentalists and singers
 .The music of Paahto & The Bull is a very honest reflection of the unique 
 kind of sound that Cummins and Flynn have consistently created with each o
 ther over the past fifteen years and\, although one might have expected th
 eir initial release to be a banjo/guitar product\, the lateral thinking th
 at went into choosing a guitar duet is also very in line with the particul
 ar flavour of progressive that these lads strive for. The statement is fir
 m: ‘This is what we play. This is how we play. And this is what we are g
 oing to play.’Having signed with Claddagh Records in late 2025\, Paahto 
 & The Bull will be releasing their debut album during 2026.\n\nBoletos: ht
