Paddy Forwood PR

Paddy Forwood PR was set up in 2000 as an independent music PR company specializing in securing UK press coverage for an eclectic roster of artists ranging from alt-country, indie, power-pop and rock to electronica, folk and blues. Artists we've helped to establish in the UK include Ryan Adams, The Shins, Midlake, Andrew Bird, Drive-By Truckers, Lift to Experience and Iron & Wine. We've worked with a number of leading independent labels including Sub Pop, Secretly Canadian, Bella Union, Track and Field, Full Time Hobby, Glitterhouse, Asthmatic Kitty, Loose Records, Chemikal Underground, Fargo, Yep Roc, Rainbow Quartz and Cooking Vinyl.

Press campaigns are tailored individually for each artist according to genre and budget. We only work with records and artists we really believe in and think we can help make successful. Our passion for a wide range of music and a longstanding relationship with a large number of music journalists and publications have helped cement Paddy Forwood PR's reputation as one of the UK's leading independent music PR companies.
