KAPPA MERCHANDISE AVAILABLE AT :
KAPPA STORE!

A three piece rock and roll band from Liverpool, England fronted by lead guitarist and singer Paul Kappa backed up by bass player Martin Byrne and drummer Tony Smith. This band has been electrifying audiences at Liverpool's world famous Cavern in Mathew Street, playing to a packed house, with long queues outside hoping to get in to the (now legendary) three hour non-stop show, an essential part of the city's Saturday evening for the last couple of years.
Kappa made the studio album 'Living @ the End of the World' in 2003, followed by 'Accelerando'; the live album recorded in the Cavern, Liverpool in 2004. A DVD of the show 'Guitar Hero' written by Paul Kappa was produced in 2005 and the Amazing Kappa has just completed a new studio album, "Electrical Storm" (tracks from which are being rotated on this page). The band has appeared on BBC television and radio, ITV, as well as MTV, WGN Chicago and Danish radio, and performed in England, Ireland, Spain, France, Switzerland, Sweden, and the United States.
Paul Kappa: Winner of the Liverpool Echo Best Newcomer Award 1994.
