2012 saw the band go from strength to strength. They shared the stage with Derry’s finest, including the Undertones, playing to a ten thousand strong crowd at the Clipper Homecoming celebrations. Firm favourites at festivals they have headlined stages at both Glasgowbury and Stendhal among others.

In late 2014 Nash and band got a great reception while supporting Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbot on the Northern leg of their Irish tour.

With this, their third album ‘Laughter & Love’ released on the 15th May 2015, Paddy and his Happy Enchiladas intend to maintain their cult status as the band who’ll get you thinking and dancing all at the same time when they play The Loft on Saturday, June 6.
