Paddy met Seán Ó Ríada in the late 1950s when he played with several people, who later went on to Ceoltóirí Cualann in various clubs before joining the Ríada's orchestra in the early 60's. Other soon-to-be Chieftains in the Ceoltóirí Cualann were Seán Potts, Martin Fay, Peadar Mercier, and Mick Tubridy. In 1963, Paddy brought the group together along with an old friend of his, Dave Fallon, to do a one time album called - The Chieftains.
In 1968, Paddy left Baxendales to work for Garech a Brún's fledgling record label, Claddagh Records. In seven years he achieved to establish Claddagh's catalog and a market for it.
