Add to My Profile | More VideosHello I'm Paul I helped create and run U2’s Official Lookalike / Soundlikes “The Dopplegangers” of which I'm very proud to have been involved with. "Version 1" and I was with U2 and the Dopplegangers for the 1992 U2 Video hit single “Even Better Than The Real Thing” which was filmed in London & Pinewood studios the video won a "Best MTV Pop music video award". "The Dopplegangers" "Version 1" climaxed with U2 inviting us over to Dublin in late November that year to perform as them "live" on the Zoo TV special / Pat Kenny show RTE TV in a dual Television studio broadcast while U2 actually sat in the audience watching us perform as them. “The Dopplegangers” performed U2’s latest single “Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horse’s” this was a publicity stunt using “The Dopplegangers” as U2 to fool the worlds press who suddenly burst into the studio only to be confronted by "The Dopplegangers" and not the real U2 as they were exiting the studio this was broadcast "live" to 32 countries around the world. Whilst in Dublin at the Shelbourne Hotel I spoke to U2 manager Paul Mc Guinness where he gave his permisson for us to take "The Dopplegangers" idea a stage further and to take the band out on the road.Following some band member changes mainly due to location difficulties, I and original Dopplegangers Bass player Clark reformed the band to create "The Dopplegangers" "Version 2" after many adverts placed in the Music press and many, many auditions later (yes Simon Cowell I know how you feel!)we recruited 3 new lookalike soundlike band members, where upon I then co managed with full time band manager Chris. I increasingly got more involved with the live side of things to become more of a road manager to the group, and whilst rehearsing in the Studio I did help create, plan and choreograph a 2 1/2 hour Live U2 tribute stage show,it was left to me to buy the exact stage clothes,jewelery and glasses which matched the real U2, and to get hold of the correct music equipment to be used on stage produce that U2 sound, which we then toured around the UK. “The Dopplegangers” also appeared on behalf of U2 at their request on various UK TV shows “Naked City” Channel Four. and the “Big Breakfast” and Ray Cokes “Most Wanted” MTV where they performed "Angle of Harlem". after departing from "The Dopplegangers" I returned to Music Managment / PR I've also worked with & managed former fantastic "BIRDLAND" guitarist (and friend) Lee Vincent with the band "CAPRICCIO" I also managed helped & advised Former "BIRDLAND" lead sing Robert Vincent with his new band "Torn Bloody Poetry" and many other various other rock/pop bands which included the fantastic Watford band "SPYCATCHER" I've also worked in Photography: Portraits & Glamour,**************************************************** ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ******I've also work in Photographic printing Darkroom & Machine printing and on Enlargers, Whilst working at PR PICTURES LTD I also helped produce many thousands of Movie publicity photos for several major realeases including Pulp Fiction, Jurassic Park, Star Trek-Generations etc,etc. SEE BELOW!!!
