The sound of the 80's

About Me

Pure 8 live at Bogna

Add to My Profile | More Videos
My name is Paul and I am the main vocalist in the duo PURE 8. Barry and I have been working together for about five years now with various line- ups, trios, duos you name it we’ve tried it! We both love the 80’s so that is why we chose to do the PURE 8 project.
Barry has programmed all the music for our live performance and we play guitar/keyboards/bass and occasionally bongos. We have a lot of fun on stage, which hopefully comes across in our act. We are currently performing at established music venues such as, The Concorde Club, many social clubs and various pubs.

Please listen to the demo and tell me what you think! Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Paul.
