About Paul Holohan

PAUL HOLOHAN
is bass player & singer with "Whiskey Still" Paul also plays keyboard & is an excellent songwriter. His background is varied, but most notably took shape in the vibrant 60s pop/rock scene of Dublin's hip & trendy. Paul was originally a member of the poll & chart topping sixties Irish beat group "The ByeLaws" ..& I should mention that I have great admiration for the guitar Paul plays. It is a classic old school Rickenbacker bass guitar (the same model as Paul McCartney played through most of he days in Wings & clutches in the cover artwork of 'Pipes Of Peace') In the 60s, "The ByeLaws" were actually managed by the same management company as "The Dubliners" & after his time with "The ByeLaws" had ended, Paul moved to Canada with his own band "Lola and The Gipsies" who's extensive tours took in nightclubs, theatres & prisons (yes, prisons! ..move over Johnny Cash!) in the (expired link). & Canada alike. On his return from Canada, in the late 70s, Paul made a foray back into to the Irish music scene which felt like a return to his roots as he grew up playing Irish music on his very first instrument, the piano accordion
