About Me

The Bio
My name is Paul. I first picked up my Dad's guitar when i was 4, and ever since then i've been hooked on music. Despite starting early, it took me to be alone at the school disco when i was just 11, hearing Travis for the first time to really get my love and passion for music going. I started writing music at 12 years of age. Like most boys at that age, i had trouble with the girls, and that's where most of the earlier stuff comes from. I now live in Scotland, and perform with my brilliant bandmates Johnnie McDowall (drums) and John Currie (bass). We recently agreed a deal with Cynical Monkey Records, which means that we have a digital-download EP (check below for details) which will be out on iTunes, Napster, etc.. very very soon!

Sounds Like: Gary Lightbody reckons the songs sound like Travis- can't think where he got that from!
Other comparisons include Damien Rice, Neil Young, Glen Hansard (The Frames), Rubber Soul-era The Beatles, Stephen Fretwell, Elliot Smith, Simon & Garfunkel, The Housemartins, Radiohead, and my aunty said i sound like Pink Floyd. Yes, she was intoxicated at the time.
