“A fine singer-songwriter discovery” AAA Music

 

“London is certainly not short of serious singer-songwriter types, so it’s as well that Plunkett is pretty close to the top of the game. New Beginnings could slot straight into the Radio Two playlist without anyone noticing.” Sam Inglis, Sound on Sound

“With the market choked full of one-man-and-his-guitar types at the moment, Plunkett stands out by virtue of the clarity of his vocals and the natural charm and honesty of his music. Top stuff all round” Totally Vivid

“…refreshing to hear original artists like Patrick out there…restores my faith in the music industry” What’s Good to Do

“Four minutes of semi-balladry at its best and a fantastic introduction” Entertainment Focus

 

Not long after his birth in Paris, Patrick’s family moved to Ireland where he grew up in a rich tradition of songwriters that began to mould his view on music. Patrick learned his craft listening to influences from home like Glen Hansard and Josh Ritter as well as sounds from overseas like David Bowie and The Band. His songwriting reflects his Irish heritage producing and is steeped in the influences of his upbringing

 

Unable to resist the allure of a culture rich city and travel Patrick relocated to London in 2006. Since then he has gigged extensively around London, released his debut EP “New Beginnings” in 2007, and won accolades among music press and live followers. 2011 saw the release of Patrick’s second EP ‘Attracting Attention’ and Patrick can be found gigging tirelessly up and down the UK and Ireland. 2012 promises to be no different with Patrick on the radar of several festival decision makers.
