Founded by Ukrainian Eva and Englishman Paul, musicians with experience touring in Great Britain and Ukraine, international ethnic-folklore project Dark Patrick is gaining speed, taking part in all the biggest Ukrainian folk festivals. Each member having mastery of several modern and folk instruments (often playing more than one at once), and drawing opon their wide musical tastes and experience of folklore expeditions and touring and traveling in Ukraine, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England they have developed their own unique style which brings together the music of various ethnic traditions, but most promenantly Ukrainian and Irish, which they deliver to audiences with such force and fullness that it is hard to believe that there are only two people on stage

Dark Patrick is a meeting of two cultures, unique and individual, yet alike in the uplifting nature of their melodies.

A new school on the Folk Bandura combining aspects of  the magically light and skillful touch of the Irish Bards with the  dramatic soul of the Ukrainian Kobzars.

The inexhaustible optimism of Irish, Scottish and Breton songs, that even in the deepest tragedy still maintain their childlike joy.

The insanely hard driving rhythm of Carpathian melodies.
