In the summer of 2000, Paddy went into the studio for the first time without his brothers and sisters and recorded some demos on his own. After writing more songs for what was to become his first solo album, he continued producing demos with some musicians his brother Angelo had introduced him to. When he than finished the pre-production phase with the two producer/musicians Marco Minnemann (Aliens, H-Blockx, Paul Gilbert) and Fabio Trentini (Guano Apes, Donots) Paddy hit the studio with them and began the recordings in February 2001.

Songs like "Pray Pray Pray" or "Thanking Blessed Mary" clearly echo his faith, then again "Living in the Line of Fire" and "Money Making Machine" demonstrate an awareness and concern for actual problems in mankind and in the world today. "Movie" is a song about the irony of fame. "Hope" and "Search for Truth" reflect on the soul-searching phase a few years back.

"When you sleep" or "Rain of Roses" are well mastered reactions to people that have made a profound impression on him, and "No Fuzz, no Buzz back to Rock`n´Roll" and "Knick-Knack-Paddy-Wack" express the diversity of style and even humour in Paddy Kelly's music.



"The title 'In Exile' expresses the creative and human environment I find myself in the making of this album". "Even though the music and work with my brothers and sisters remains my priority, and I am very happy to have started this parallel Exile"
