     IED believes Paddy has played on some of Roy Harper's recordings,
and he also played mandolin on several tracks on Shelleyan Orphan's
first LP, _Helleborine_.
     He has played a large number of obscure instruments on Kate's
albums, but IED doesn't know how many of those were actually
reconstructed by him. He _has_ reconstructed a fujare, a
strumento da porco, a valiha, and a bull-roarer.
     IED doesn't know whether other artists have ever used any
of his reconstructions. There is a colour photo of one of Paddy's
arcane instruments in an early Kate Bush Club _Newsletter_, though,
and it looks extremely convincing and beautiful. He is obviously
a master woodworker.
