Synopsis

At a time when priests patrolled the narrow country lanes at night, searching with sticks and even with dogs, for courting couples, Dan Paddy Andy, the matchmaker, came in for ringing denunciations from the Church. Archdeacon Browne intoned from the pulpit: 'There is a wild man after descending from the mountains and it is the man of the triple name: Dan Paddy Andy.'
John B. Keane paints a colourful and humorous portrait of Dan Paddy Andy, the last of the great Irish matchmakers, who claimed responsibility for over 400 marriages. His wit and escapades are described by a writer with the accomplished playwright's ear for the subtle tones and vivacity of dialogue.
