Paahto & The Bull is the guitar-duo project of Patrick "Paahto" Cummins and John Francis Flynn. Having met and played together since 2011 and having cut their teeth at The Maple Hotel on Dublin's Gardiner Street, Paahto and John helped form the Irish traditional group Skipper's Alley in 2013 and would remain long-term sparring partners and an integral cog in Dublin's traditional and folk music communities. As with any collaboration between these two players, Paahto & The Bull is beyond a meeting of two musical minds and encompasses a very personal element.
Their debut 10 track album, ‘The 123’ gets it’s name from the old Dublin bus route
that connected the two musicians' areas - passing by Paddy's home place on Errigal Road in Drimnagh at one end and terminating near St. Declan's Road, Marino on the other, where John grew up.
