I attended gigs with my underage sons' band for 4 years as an oldie "minder" and Paddy was at the Bridge Mall Inn then He was a lovely, talented and gentle soul who encouraged and nurtured live music in Ballarat like no-one else did. He was especially inclusive and helpful for the young ones just starting out. He will be immeasurably missed. Deepest sympathy to Eliza and families. Cath Zala - mother of James and Ben

Ballarat is much the poorer for your loss. Deepest sympathies to Eliza and all the family. -muz
