About Me


Pat McIntyre is an instinctive singer/songwriter currently hailing from Bristol, England. Originally from Carmarthenshire, Wales, music has been in his blood throughout his life - a classically trained pianist from the age of 8 and a self-taught guitarist from the age of 12.
Since this early age Pat always had an ear for a catchy melody and spent most of his teenage years writing and recording songs. He has always been fascinated by the technology surrounding music and gained a 2:1 degree in Music Tech in 2004.
After adding bass and drums to his list of instruments, Pat has continued to write and record music throughout his twenties. These days the acoustic guitar is his weapon of choice and he is currently performing acoustic gigs in the Bristol area.
Pat thrives on playing live and always builds a rapport with the crowd. He uses a looper pedal to add depth to his live performances and always gives a passionate display.
If you like what you hear go check Pat out live, and get in touch if you fancy collaborating or forming a band.
