"The Stoutfellows" (1999)
"Stout FM" (2000)
"Stout It Out Loud" (Live, Unreleased, 15 tracks, 2002)
Celtic rockers The Stoutfellows have returned to the scene for a one-off show at The Bog Irish Bar, Cashel Mall on Saturday, July 5th - 10pm until late.
The band originally formed at the start of 1999 and up until the end of 2002 they toured and played to crowds up and down the country as well as overseas. The Stoutfellows also managed to release two full length albums in it's tenure, "The Stoutfellows" (1999) and "Stout FM" (2000). Their third album, a live effort taped at the now defunct Jolly Poacher, titled "Stout It Out Loud" (2002) was to be released in 2002 but was shelved when the band stopped playing and eventually broke up. Tracks from the album can still be heard on the bands' MySpace site for free.
"The Stoutfellows play a high energy brand of Celtic flavored rock music, covering artists such as The Pogues, Steve Earle, The Waterboys and Van Morrison. They also play their own original music which has proved to be a hit live."
"The Stoutfellows, the four piece 'Celtic Rock' band from Christchurch, brimming with energy and strong musical talent, can lay claim to being the best band in their field. Some may argue with that statement. And why not? It is a rather bold one. But after you see the amount of work that The Stoutfellows have put into their craft - the tours, the recordings, and dedication to being the best - perhaps then you'll get a greater insight as to why the band lays claim to being the best in the business of rock 'n' roll (or rock 'n' reel as the case may be!)
This first line up of the band in January 1999 (Dan MacMillan, Nick Laird, Geoff Snowsil and Peter Malthus) recorded and released a self titled CD, The Stoutfellows' first, that went on to sell around 1,000 copies. The album was sold at shows and quickly became a very popular recording in it's own right - still sought after today. But halfway through the year saw the depature of Geoff Snowsil. His replacement came in the form of Scott Spatcher-Harrison, a guitarist for a Christchurch metal band called HUMAN. Nick took over on the mandolin while Scott played guitar and the new line up continued on.
It was after a trip to play in Australia and another tour around New Zealand that original band members Dan McMillan (drums) and Nick Laird (mandolin) announced that they were leaving the band. The fellows picked to replace them were Simon Fox and Andrew Boon respectively. And it was with this new line up in July 2001 that The Stoutfellows picked up steam and played their collective heart out to big crowds around NZ. Along the way the lads obtained backing from Musicworks NZ, the largest musical instrument retailer in the country, and also Jamesons Irish Whiskey lent a well needed hand too! (Thanks chaps!) It was during this time that the idea for album 3 began to take shape.
In February 2002, The Stoutfellows decided to record their next album at one of their favourite LIVE venues - The Jolly Poacher Tavern in Christchurch. On Saturday the 9th of February 2002, they packed the place out and belted out 15 tracks of high energy Celtic Rock, all captured by Rob Mays of Avalanche Studios, and it all boiled down into what was to be the last Stoutfellows CD titled "Stout It Out Loud". The band lost founding member Peter Malthus and release of the album was put on hold indefinitely.
The band hired Amy Sutherland to come in and play bass as a permanent band member but it all came to end on New Year's of 2002 when Scott parted ways with the band and it was agreed that there was to be no more Stoutfellows activity."

Paddy Whetman: "Goat Music One" JUDMUSIC-CD003
"The long awaited release from Paddy Whetman (AKA.Hamish McDoodle) was released on the 01/09/05.
"Goat Music One" is a collection of Paddy`s works from the last five years, plus some new tracks.
The Album also features Ali Roberts on vocals and Stevie `G' Green on Drums and Percussion."
"The creative force behind Goat Music, Paddy Whetman has produced music in a wide variety of styles ranging from 'death reggae', in 'pipes from hell' to 'celtic techno' in 'bagpipes make my balls itch'. Although mostly 'dance' music his approach has always been to avoid limiting his music to one style. In his musical career, Paddy has played in numerous bands, including his own creation, “Hamish McDoodle and the kicking Keltic kaos krew”, with Ali Roberts (Ali Agogo) and Steve Green (Mr Modesty). Hamish was a character he created to front the band, dressed in kilt, horned helmet and goatskin waistcoat decorated with bones and feathers. Much of the music features the Eryri bagpipes, Hamish's sidekick. The pipes were designed and built by Paddy, an experienced engineer. The reed is made of steel and has an electromagnetic pickup fixed over it so that it can be made to sound like an electric guitar, sometimes dubbed 'Jimi Hendrix on the bagpipes', he plugs the pipes into guitar effects pedals creating powerfully distorted and pitch-shifted sounds featured heavily on 'yehunsaya' and 'pipes from hell'. This, combined with Paddy's innovative production skills, makes this music unique, never having been done before. Much of the music, with the primitive sound of the pipes, the mysterious chanting and evocative drones has a spiritual 'celtic' feel conjuring up images of mythical armies marching into battle, strange alien forces, death, mourning and rebirth. Some of it is perverse and comical, 'bagpipes make my balls itch' with it's unlikely techno 303 sound and 'plastic' 808 drums. 'Pipes from hell' could be described as being fairly dark and twisted, with telling lyrics by Ali Roberts and distorted bagpipe sounds. Some of you may remember some of these tracks from a few years ago, when downloads of Paddy’s music on the now defunct “MP3.com” totalled more than 170,000, proof of the popularity of “Goat Music”…enjoy!
