The Shape I'm In: Paddy Cullivan, musician, composer and MC

IT’S lights, action, show time on Friday nights for Paddy Cullivan, house band leader of the Late Late Show’s Camembert Quartet.

Witty and upbeat, the band has introduced some of the biggest names in the world. But while Paddy has played with the great and brave, it was only recently he met his hero — astronaut Chris Hadfield.

“It was a real moment in history for me to put together my sci-fi interests and meeting an astronaut for the first time — I think that was the pinnacle of my career,” says Paddy, 40.
