Paddy Wells interview

Paddy Wells joins me on episode 96.

Paddy is based in the north of England, where he started out as a singer playing a little harp before hearing amplified harmonica, which really turned him on to the instrument.

Paddy is also a freelance music journalist, having written regular articles for several music magazines in the UK, including Blues in Britain. He also wrote an article, Blowin’ Off The Dust, for the SPAH magazine. 

Paddy has also spent some time travelling the US, including sitting in with Jason Ricci, and writing two magazine articles on him.

Paddy has played in various bands in the north of England, appearing at festivals and supporting some notable names. His current band is called Dust Radio.
