Patrick Berechree
With a musical style that does not fit neatly into a genre, it is probably easier to talk about what Patrick Berechree has done than it is to describe what it is he does. A veteran of over 2000 gigs, Patrick Berechree has also released 5 albums. As both the front man of several bands including Squeezebox, The Robinsons and The Darlings, and as performer on his own, Patrick Berechree has devoted a significant amount of his working life to live music. What he does in all musical formats is a little more difficult to pin down.- He breathes a little part of himself into some beautiful old familiar songs, he cooks up infectious rhythms on his acoustic guitar.- Rich and warm, his voice is the defining part of his musicianship.- Equally at home prowling the stage at a festival or in more intimate performance situations Patrick Berechree performs with sensitivity and intensity and always gives it all he’s got.Added To List
