From Furniture Maker to Celebrated Guitarist with Pat Coldrick

What if a single moment of inspiration could change the trajectory of your entire life? Join us on the Resonate podcast as we chat with the phenomenal guitar maestro, Pat Coldrick. From the tender age of 12, when he first heard Segovia on the radio, Pat’s love for the guitar was ignited, leading him to a self-taught journey brimming with relentless dedication. 

Hear about Pat’s return to playing in his late 40s and the creation of “Lament,” a deeply moving guitar piece that touched hearts and reaffirmed his musical calling. Pat opens up about the raw emotions and cherished memories that fueled this composition. We talked about the importance of pursuing dreams at any age and how creative expression can fill an existential void, bringing fulfillment and purpose to our lives.

Finally, prepare to be inspired by tales of perseverance and triumph as Pat recounts his rise from busking on Grafton Street to receiving standing ovations at the National Concert Hall. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear Pat’s incredible stories and insights into the world of classical guitar.
