Pat Kearns took the time to come to our band practice, to get our act together. Years later i remember him by his real name rather than his stage name. He was a great support of newbies playing music. THANKS

Sending our deepest condolences to the entire family at this very sad time. So shocked to hear of Paddy´s sudden passing, taken too soon. I will always remember him as a child growing up in Christchurch (and how cool it was to have a cousin on TV!), his incredible voice and musical talent and tremendous sense of humour. He brought joy to so many and will be sadly missed. RIP Pat

Condolences to Jim ,Leon and the rest of the Kearns family for the sudden loss of Pat.I was sadden and shocked to learn of his sudden passing. I understand it was cancer.May I do wonder what sort of cancer he had that took him so fast. Pat,Leon and Jim are work collegues of my father Barry Brinson.Many years ago Dad and Jim played at the Chateau every Friday and Saturday night and sometimes Leon and Pat would join them.I once saw Pat preform at the Issac Theatre in an Elvis show.Pat played the older Elvis and Pat Urlich played the younger elvis.I remember seeing Your Pat and Pat Urlich coming out a back entrance of the theatre ,it was either just before the show started or just after it ended.I wanted to go up and say hello but my friend did not want to and I was to shy to go up to them on my own.I have attached two photos with this message of Pat.I have know idea what the event was.The first picture has Richard Hore,Murray Wood,Pat and my father and some others who I do not know in it and the 2nd photo is Murry Wood,Pat and my father Barry

kind regards Rachael O'Dea(nee Brinson)
