Sat 09 Sep 2008Why this Paddy needs whacking
The latest potato blight to afflict the radio stations is a rave reworking of a traditional air - the question is, who will pay for 'Paddy's Revenge'?
PLUG IN YOUR diddley-iPod and get on your dancing brogues - the big hit of the season is here, and the whole world is getting jiggy with the techno trad beat. Paddy's Revengeis based on a song recorded 20 years ago by Irish traditional group Patrick Street, retooled for the rave generation by British DJ Steve Mac. It is almost certain to hit the top of the UK charts on its release next week.
