Default Paddy Flower's identity - ??

Ok, a few of us were discussing yesterday in the Yeovile bar the true identity of Paddy Flower. Through the power of group rationalisation, can we add to the names/odds given below to reveal the true identity of Paddy?!

Clearly, whoever his is, he's a clued up guy (or girl) since he's not been far out with his odds in the past. Also, he's a guy with a keen interest in betting, brass bands and has a bit of time free to research/compile the odds for most of the main contests. He (she) also likes to remain anonymous and doesn't give much away as to where they might be based ....but perhaps there are other clues that we can add from his previous posts...?

Here is some further info from his profile:

About Paddy Flower
Biography: A man with a keen interest in bands and gambling (but not at the same time) Location: Above a bookmakers Interests :Controversially proclaiming odds on brass band contests Occupation: Jockey Player/Composer: Supporter Signature: 2009 "Impact Award" winner - I thank you

Cheers Simon ! Nice as it is to be mentioned in such erstwhile company I can confirm that I am not Paddy !!
Yes I do have a geek-like interest in bands and all things band related , but my vices extend only to Beer ( in vast quantities ) and a collection of "specialist" european art films that relate to the physical expression of human relations Gambling is not my thing !!

FWIW my suspicions point in the direction of East London and a certain bass player whose occupation would lend itself nicely to the role !!

I reckon he is from North West or Wales

He has his finger on the pulse of all sections and for that I would suggest he is more likely to be involved more with a lower section band.

Could well be with 4br though, and I am really looking forward to the annual 4br Regional predictions.

Paddy has added a lot to the forums and I would like to buy him a pint at the Regionals. But as he remains anonymous, well that's just tough!
