A fantastic Christmas party is coming up! On 16 December, we’re celebrating with Paddy Goes to Holyhead live at the Swissôtel in Düsseldorf-Neuss. Ticket sales are under way and we’re really looking forward to the day. Don’t know Paddy Schmidt and his band yet? We’d like to change that…
The folk-rock band Paddy Goes to Holyhead has been around since 1988. They became famous and popular with well-known songs such as “Far Away” and “Here’s to the people”. The band’s distinctive presence and closeness to the audience make their performances truly unique. Paddy Goes to Holyhead are not like other folk bands. With Paddy Schmidt’s smoky whisky voice, Celtic harmonica and an electric violin, they create a truly distinctive sound. And their fans have loved them for it for over 25 years.
The Real Irish Christmas Party with Paddy
Anyone who has seen Paddy perform live, solo or with the band, knows what we mean. These are passionate entertainers with heart, giving it their all on stage. And that’s exactly how you’ll experience them at our Real Irish Christmas Party
. We’re really looking forward to working with this fantastic band. On Friday, 16 December, the full band will perform at the Swissôtel in Neuss and turn the hotel into an Irish pub with a great atmosphere. Alongside Paddy (whose real name is Harald Kligge), Jo Nauman, who has been with the band since its early days, plays keyboards. Uhu Bender plays bass, Kalle Spriesterbach is on drums and Nicole Ansperger makes the electric violin sing. You can find a few “MP3 snippets” to listen to on the band’s website
. The band’s website isn’t the most modern, but the Darmstadt natives don’t need it to be. Their success speaks for itself, and tours for 2017 are already being planned.

Three months – three tours – three regions. We’re currently finalising the exact dates and venues. In any case, Paddy Goes to Holyhead will be coming to the Ruhr area and the north of Germany.
