Paul is High Barn's local boy. Having grown up just a few miles from the venue and studio, he was surrounded by musicians and musical instruments from an early age. By the time he reached 16, he was already an accomplished pianist, drummer and guitarist. The musical environment continued during and after college when Paul moved to London to work on such TV shows as CD:UK. T4 and Fame Academy.

Whilst being surrounded by some of the biggest names in music, Paul frequently returned home to record his own song ideas and, years later, these eventually culminated in his debut album 'Let The Night Roll In'. During his late teens, Paul spent time living in California and later travelled to Africa. A number of songs on the album show how these experiences influenced his writing. Californian influences can be heard in such upbeat songs as 'Bygone Days ' and 'Santa Cruz' whilst more percussive tracks like 'This Is The World' and 'You By Me' have a distinctively African feel.

That this album took so long to produce is testament to the incredible effort Paul has put into it. Not only did he write, engineer and produce the album himself, but he also played all the instruments (from guitar, drums and piano to bass, djembe, bull roar and accordion). He also took the photographs for the album sleeve.
