Patrick Joseph "Paddy" McGuinness.

Sallabananas - Can't tell the difference between a Yorkshireman and a <spit> Lancastrian - wash your mouth out with soap and water!!!

According to Wikipedia he was born in Farnworth,Lancs.
He probably has Irish ancestry,and Guinness is a relatively common name in Ireland.
The (Irish) Earls of Iveagh's family name is Guinness.
