Band/artist history
I started in a metal band called Omen in the 80s up in Lancashire. Played a lot of gigs over 4 years before we went our separate ways. Moved to the Cambridge area and joined Beyond This Place but this only lasted a year. Formed Renegade, an originals rock band in the early 90s and gigged and recorded for around 5 years. Had a two year break then joined Hope & Glory, a Cambridge based originals and classic rock covers band. We played a lot of gigs around East Anglia until the band split 3 years later. Had another break to re-record and master the Renegade CD that was never finished, then started Bridge Too Far, a Suffolk based band. Played two gigs before good old musical differences hit the band. While the band's on hold I thought I'd do my own thing....
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I've played pubs and clubs around Lancashire in the 80s and Cambridgeshire/Suffolk in the 90s and 00s. Not gigging at present but trying to put another band together - there's no feeling like it!

Rock music with high energy and good virtuosity, and it seems that it was done in one breath!
Rousing and touching performance done right!
Sounds like good old Southern Rock on steroids :D Great work Paul!
Phantastic piece of music - full of my taste.
Wow! Only just got my breath back after the last pharaoh ! Another work on an epic scale.The combination of choirs acoustic and electric guitars and strings is quite breath taking. it's a masterful production Paul with of course that trademark fluid playing I feel like I've been on a trip,excuse me while I go for a lie down.
