Live Wedding Guitar Songs

I've been recording some live footage at this Summer's wedding events and have started to get around to putting some of it on YouTube. I've set up a playlist which you can watch below... and I'll be continually adding to this as an when I upload more footage :)

Public Appearance at Clifton Arcade

Tomorrow I'll be playing some fun, upbeat summery acoustic tunes at the beautiful Clifton Arcade centre. Dating back to 1878, Clifton Arcade is a unique and beautiful shopping little centre full of charm and character, right in the heart of Clifton Village. From 2pm-ish, I'll be playing an hour or two of acoustic songs, so if you're nearby then why not pop down and say hi!

Pat McIntyre playing at the Bristol Balloon Fiesta

Very pleased to announce that I'll be playing some live music at the Bristol Balloon Fiesta (7-10th August 2014) this year. I'll be performing for the balloonists and crews, hopefully camping over at the site too - should be a big old knees-up! And yes, I get to take a flight in a hot air balloon... can't wait!

Viral cat video!! And a TV appearance on BBC1

Unrelated to weddings, and (unfortunately!) unrelated to music - but in a random turn of events, I've been invited to appear on The One Show on BBC1 this coming Wednesday. Some of you may know that a little while back, a video I posted to YouTube went viral. It was shared on sites such as the Huffington Post, and was even featured on the Steve Wright Show on BBC Radio 2 at one point! It was a strange week. As well as being a musician, I work 3 days a week as a postman. Yup - you guessed it, I really am Postman Pat! I was out on my walk one day when a friendly cat took a liking to me. You guessed it again - it was a black and white cat! So we had a real-life Postman Pat and his black and white cat, and the internet went crazy for it... you can see the video here:

Now, with the upcoming launch of a Postman Pat movie, the One Show are doing a feature and decided to invite me down the studios to get involved with the programme. Well, what could I say other than... YES?!! Should be a lot of fun, I'm already getting nervous though - live TV! You can catch the programme this Wednesday 14th May, from 7pm - 8pm.

New guitar: Gibson Songwriter Electro-acoustic

So finally, my well played and much beloved old Washburn electro-acoustic has been retired (well not completely – it’ll still be used in the studio and as a backup guitar). I splashed out and realised my lifelong dream of owning a Gibson acoustic guitar – and what a beauty she is.

Wedding guitarist videos on YouTube

I've just launched a new YouTube channel specifically for my wedding guitarist business. I'll be busy uploading lots of songs - including my most popular and most requested wedding songs. I'll also be adding live performances and promotional videos very soon... click the image below to visit my new channel!

Meanwhile, my old YouTube channel continues to go from strength to strength - I'm closing in on a million views! Here are some of my most popular videos:

Songwriting successes

As well as being a gigging musician, I also work as a songwriter/producer. At the moment I’m working with a publisher in London, writing tracks for the Asian markets such as Japan and Korea. I’m pleased to say that one of my co-written songs has just been placed with a big Asian artist, and it’s looking like being a Summer single to be released in July! I’d better brush up on my Japanese!!
