Mae and Paddy Butler Perpetual Trophy

The Story of the Award

With the passing of Paddy Butler came the fear that part of a very important era in dance and music was coming to an end.  Thankfully, this great legacy of dancing is being carried on in his family.  No stranger to the Irish community here in Canada and throughout North America, Paddy displayed his talent and skill through dance and music, as well as being a well-respected choreographer.

It all began in Ireland in his early years when he was very involved in theatre.  He started many amateur musicals with his sweetheart, then wife, Mae as his leading lady.

We all mourn his passing and he will be long remembered.  His memory comes through in his music.
