“Paddy de las Pampas and Lenka Fairy” are a music and dance duo based in Lahinch, Co. Clare. They perform traditional Irish music accompanied by Irish step dance.
Formed during The Gathering in 2013, Los Paddys began as a cultural exchange between musicians and dancers from Ireland and Argentina, later expanding to include members from France, South Africa, and beyond. The group, led by Clare songwriter Paddy Mulcahy, features top traditional musicians Adam Shapiro and Kirsten Allstaff, a dynamic rhythm section with Liam O’Boyle and Angelo Heart, and South American influences from Ariel Concolino and Fernando Roa Brith.
