About Me |
|
| Paul Liddell is already somewhat a veteran of the acoustic music world, having released two solo albums and an EP, and an EP with his band ‘Delphians’. His second album ‘A Lighthouse Keeper’s Diary’ was released on his own label ‘Regulus Music’ and was distributed in stores around the UK by Universal/Absolute.Over the years Paul has been playing, he has been courted by many record labels including RCA, Independiente, and EMI, but has remained independent and unsigned throughout. He feels working independently gives an artist great freedom and control over their music, and that a DIY approach is a much more healthy way to grow and expand an artist’s music. However, he is not ‘anti-industry’ and would love to work with a label if the right one came along.Paul is an experienced live performer too. His raw and unpretentious delivery combined with the use of live sampling, guitar percussion and layered vocal harmonies provide a great platform for his wonderful songs to shine. As well as touring UK venues in ’06, ’07 and ’08, Paul also performs between tours, averaging about 10-12 shows a month. Paul has also toured in America, whipping up a storm in several little coffee houses across California. While he was there he performed on a TV show filmed in Time Warner studios in Hollywood, and got his song ‘Brighter Lights’ placed on a nationally distributed and TV advertised folk compilation CD. Other live highlights include a show-stopping performance at the Beverley Folk Festival, and a memorable show at the Piperine Free Festival in Milan (where Paul decided to let Sting take the headline spot!). Artists Paul has shared billing with include Glenn Tilbrook (Squeeze), Nerina Pallot, Karine Polwart, Kathryn Tickell, Nick Harper, Amy Wadge and Beth Rowley.Paul’s songwriting and performance have been recognised throughout the industry, claiming awards for ‘Best Male Artist’ at the International Acoustic Music Awards, a finalists place at the Independent Music Awards, and a winning place in the International Songwriting Competition ’07.2008 saw Paul working with acclaimed film director Tony Kaye on some music for his upcoming film project ‘Black Water Transit’. The film is currently in post-production. As well as working on a couple of film projects in the UK, Paul also has contacts in America looking to place his songs in movies and television.“A very good album from a highly talented singer/songwriter/musician” – Maverick Magazine“Glittering nuggets of irresistible folk-pop gold” – The Crack Magazine“hard to compare to other musicians…………… Paul Liddell does it so well that you overlook the rest” – East Magazinewww.paulliddell.com www.myspace.com/paulliddellmusic 07971 011 732 | |
