Paddington

Melodic pop/rock from Scandinavia!

About Me


Finnish handicraft - pop/rock band Paddington delivers music that is genuine. With listener-friendly melodies, dirty guitars and punchy analogue synthesizers, Paddington takes the listener on a journey from the retro 70s to the freshness of today, without sacrificing a distinguished sound and flavour.
Along with the mission to make music with a positive energy and an elevating spirit, Paddington wants also to reach its audience on deeper level. Through lyrics that deal with everday-life experiences, from the point of view of a Christian, the band wishes to give the listeners a glimpse of hope.
Paddington started in 1997, and has appeared at many European festivals in countries like Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany and Slovakia.
During the years Paddington has also done appearances on television. In 1998, a music video was produced for the Finnish Broadcasting company YLE. In the year of 2000 the band performed live in TV at the "Gospel Countdown" concert. In 2003 Paddington played live in studio at the talkshow Magnet, produced by YLE.
