SUMMARY:Paahto & The Bull
LOCATION:rise @ bluebird
DESCRIPTION:Paahto & The Bull is the guitar-duo project of Patrick "Paahto"
  Cummins and John Francis Flynn.\n\nHaving met and played together since 2
 011 and having cut their teeth at The Maple Hotel on Dublin's Gardiner Str
 eet\, Paahto and John helped form the Irish traditional group Skipper's Al
 ley in 2013 and would remain long-term sparring partners and an integral c
 og in Dublin's traditional and folk music communities. Once There Was A Ki
 ng was another of their musical endeavours which reached into a progressiv
 e musical space in its short-lived timespan. However\, as with any collabo
 ration between these two players\, Paahto & The Bull is beyond a meeting o
 f two musical minds and encompasses a very personal element.\n\nDuring the
  covid-19 pandemic\, the pair experimented with music on two guitars inspi
 red by Paahto's interest in bluegrass flat-picking and John's very origina
 l approach to accompaniment. Beginning with just an Instagram page to post
  some amateur material\, Paahto & The Bull decided to take the project mor
 e seriously and gradually worked towards recording an album with the help 
 of Brendan Jenkinson and Ben Rawlins. The ethos for the duo has always bee
 n to focus on simplicity and only features the musicians playing their gui
 tars despite them both being multi-instrumentalists and singers.\n\nThe mu
 sic of Paahto & The Bull is a very honest reflection of the unique kind of
  sound that Cummins and Flynn have consistently created with each other ov
 er the past fifteen years and\, although one might have expected their ini
 tial release to be a banjo/guitar product\, the lateral thinking that went
  into choosing a guitar duet is also very in line with the particular flav
 our of progressive that these lads strive for. The statement is firm: "Thi
 s is what we play. This is how we play. And this is what we are going to p
 lay."\n\nHaving signed with Claddagh Records in late 2025\, Paahto & The B
 ull will be releasing their debut album during 2026.\n\nBoletos: https://d
