Paul's family moved from Bishopbriggs,Glasgow to Lytham St Annes where he did very badly in senior school and equally badly in his short career as a paint salesman!

He went for a few weeks to Frejus in the South Of France and, because he could play the guitar and sing a bit, he got a job running entertainment for a Club Med style holiday resort in summer and in their ski resort in Isola 2000 in winter where a regular visitor, Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics elected himself as occasional lead guitarist!
Paul had a great, irresponsible time for 8 years!
He performed amongst other venues, at the Cannes Film Festival and the Antibes and Nice Jazz Festivals sharing the stage with Buddy Rich, Miles Davis, Chick Corea and Blues Legend, Dr John.

Next up, Paul worked as a musician/singer on cruise ships for a couple of years, traveling pretty much everywhere and then worked for Hilton International Hotels in Japan and Korea.

Whilst there, he wrote the songs that became his debut CD Living On The Edge. To date, over 4000 copies have been sold.
It is still available from here as is the rest of the catalogue.

On returning from Japan, Paul went to University and got a Ba (Hons) Degree in Media Technology and French.
The Media Technology part has assisted greatly in the total sound that Paul creates at his live shows.

Paul has played the lead role in three stage productions.
Firstly, the romantic comedy, The Pajama Game, then the immortal Carousel, where he played the complex tragi-hero Billy Bigelow and most recently, the suave lothario Sky Masterson in Guys and Dolls

Paul is a member of Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club and holds a Private Pilots License (Take cover!)
So far, he has made the same amount of landings as takeoffs.
