Rewatching an all time classic 1978 war movie in the HQ and you make the realisation that Sgt Jesse played by John Kanu also played King T’Chaka in the black Panther 😮

Episode 139 ➡️ Paul Page

PLEASE CLICK LINK IN BIO TO LISTEN 🙏

On this week’s episode, we’re joined by Paul Page, guitarist, songwriter, and founding member of one of Ireland’s most influential bands, Whipping Boy. Formed in Dublin in the late
‘80s, Whipping Boy were known for their raw intensity, emotional honesty, and unforgettable live shows. Paul’s distinctive guitar sound helped define the band’s landmark 1995 album Heartworm, a record that’s become a cornerstone of Irish music. Heartworm was voted the seventh best Irish album of all time in a 2005 Hot Press poll, and in 2013 it even topped Phantom FM’s list of the Top 50 Irish Albums of All Time. Fast forward to today, and Paul’s embarked on an exciting new chapter with The Sentimental Tourists, his collaboration with Dave Long from Into Paradise.
Their self-titled debut EP, released earlier this year, showcases a more reflective and melodic side to Paul’s songwriting, while still carrying that unmistakable emotional depth and edge that fans have always connected with. In this episode, we chat to Paul about the early days of Whipping Boy, the creative spark behind Heartworm, and how The Sentimental Tourists came to life after all these years.

Future guest Paul Page (whipping boy) is back with his new project The Sentimental Tourists with Dave Long

The new 3 track EP ‘Living in Smoke Dreams’ from the Sentimental Tourists is released today, Friday 17th October.

It is the result of a collaboration between vocalist Dave Long (Into Paradise) and guitarist Paul Page (Whipping Boy). Their debut 4 track EP was released in August.

The new EP is available exclusively from: https://thesentimentaltourists.bandcamp.com

Songs written and performed by Dave Long and Paul Page.
Produced by Jimmy Eadie, Dave Long, Paul Page.
Mixed and mastered by Jimmy Eadie.

Praise for their debut EP:
The EP is a shimmering beauty that has broken my heart in several places..’ Alan Corr, RTE.ie

‘Those hankering after Whipping Boy should check out Happy Beatle, Long’s clever lyrics over fuzzy guitar playing, before the EP ends with the stripped-down, elegiac Don’t Make Me Wait. Hopefully, this EP is an indicator of things to come.’ Killian Laher, No More Workhorse

‘It’s hard to pick a favourite but if I had to it’s ‘Happy Beatle’. Long’s mournful refrain of “sooner or later, you’ll find your way back to me” smothered in Page’s gorgeous guitar. It’s beautiful.’ Paul McDermott, To Here Knows When, Great Irish Albums Revisited.

‘...these tracks not only capture a unique artistic vision but also evoke a rich emotional landscape that lingers long after the final notes fade away.’ JanglePopHub
