Originally from Dublin, Ireland, Patrick moved to Glasgow in 2009 to study timpani and percussion at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

He has performed with many of the orchestras across the UK and Ireland, including the BBC SSO, RSNO, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra.

Alongside his orchestra and ensemble career, Paddy enjoys educating the next generation of percussionists and have worked with West Lothian Council and will be part of the International Summer Academy for Contemporary Music (formerly opus XXI) in Hamburg.

Paddy loves the wide variety of sounds and colours provided by the percussion instruments and is the pulse of Sound Collective Scotland.
