Overview
Overview
Pat Sheridan is the founder member of Warp Four. He was originally introduced to a capella singing by Niall Fennell (Press Gang) in the early sixties and further encouraged by a very large and kind donation of traditional material from Tom Crean (Press Gang). He joined Garland (another Dublin-based a capella group) in 1970. Garland specialised in the songs of the Watersons, The Young Tradition and The Copper Family. Their sound was also influenced by Steeleye Span who were at their best around that time.
Pat’s other folk-related interests include Mid-Winter Mumming Plays, Wren Boys, Straw Boys customs, Cork/Kerry county bounds or Sliabh Lucra district set dancing as a dancer and teacher, learning the polkas, slides and jig sets from Timmy McCarthy over the last fifteen years.
