Biography
Paul got into punk in 1977 after seeing the 'Adverts' on TOTP performing
'Gary Gilmores Eyes'. After this he went on to play in quite a few bands from
the late 70s until the early 90s, the most succesful being the band 'Avoid'
who gigged all over England from 1983 to 1992. Their main claim to fame was
supporting the 'English Dogs' on the 'Invasion of the Porky Men' tour 1984.
In the summer of 1998, Paul got talked into playing an acoustic solo gig at
the Derby punx picnic of that year. With a combination of newly written
material, old Avoid songs and cover versions the gig was a success and from
there on Paul decided to take it more seriously.
He started writing songs more frequently and gigging a lot, mainly around the
midlands, supporting such people as
U.K.Subs, 999, T.V.Smith, Splodge, 3cr, P.A.I.N, Ed Tudorpole, the Wernt, etc
He's also played Morcambe punk fest a couple of times and various punx picnics.
In September 2003, Paul recorded 6 tracks for his 'I Hate Work' cd/ep. Since
then he has been playing gigs all around the country selling a few hundred
copies of the cd on the way.
He has now just recorded an album of 17 songs which will be released in the
near future. Watch this space......
