Why this name?
Paddys friend Dave suggested it, and we thought it was a great name.
Do you play live?
Yes we play live in and around Newquay,and very much enjoy doing so, best gig so far a real ale and pie festival near Newquay "Burp"!!!!!!.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
We think this is a great opportunity for all artists to get themselves out there and heard.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
undecided,but maybe.
Band History:
Leprechaun Water was conceived one beery night listening to Irish folk music, ex death metal guitarist, Paddy (me) sponataniously decided to purchase a fiddle.............
Much ale was later consumed and somehow two other family members joined.........Jay (brother) on guitar and Vivvy. J (Dad) on goatskin and percussion. New member Sean Bay has joined us on Fiddle.
After more ale the band decided to venture on to the music scene of Newquay via various open mic nights, which as memory recalls were somewhat successful, as far as winning some ale funds. Since then we have gone out into the big wide World and host an Irish music Session at our local pub, The Tavern Newquay. P.S. We now have a full set of tunes and are available for bookings, festivals, Weddings etc. etc. message us for more details.
