Peepshow Paddy
Peepshow Paddy, DJ, promoter and head of the Disco Shed
Patrick Bickerton, aka Peepshow Paddy, started DJing in 1997 when, as an 18 year old bored-of-indie kid he got his first set of decks and promptly fell in love with raving. Wide-ranging tastes helped him develop his anything goes approach, seamlessly mixing up different genres in an inimitable party rockin’ style. He embodies the eclectic nature of the Disco Shed like no other, and is rarely in better form than when playing one of his traditional Sunday night shed-closing sets at any festival.
His first forays into party promotion came after moving to Oxford, when he set up AV club night Peepshow in 2003 with three friends, and hosted some legendary nights with acts such as Mylo, Hexstatic, Coldcut, Belleruche and Ulrich Schnauss amongst others, earning glowing praise from clubbers and critics alike. As a club night, Peepshow is currently resting, but the brand continues, primarily as a bookings agency for most of the Disco Shed roster of DJs as well as live bands such as Introducing.
Paddy was also instrumental in setting up Festinho, working as bookings manager from 2005-2009. Since joining forces with his mate Count Skylarkin in 2005 though, his primary focus has been the Disco Shed and bringing the good gospel of shedonism to all sorts of festivals, clubs, pubs, bars, weddings, birthdays, bah mitsvahs etc etc. For bookings, mix cds, or just to say hello, please e-mail him at:
