Listen "Episode 139 - Paul Page of Whipping Boy"
Episode Synopsis
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.
