Paul
D ('limelight') - guitar and vocals
Paul
has been around guitars since the age of 7. He has been involved
in all the various fashions in popular music in the intervening
46 years, having played in Glam-Rock outfits, metal monsters,
punk radicals and cheesy covers bands. He has only now found his
niche in Urban Blues.
His playing is more expressive than techno-flash and his trusty
Gibson SG has been his loyal side-kick for over 30 years, yielding
a warm, soulful tone faithfully delivered by his classic Marshall
amp.
His
influences are (in no particular order) Peter Green, Paul Kossoff, Wes Montgomery,
Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, BB King, Joe Pass, Otis Rush, Buddy Guy, Hiram Bullock,
Joe Satriani, Jimmy Page, Roy Buchannan, Stevie-Ray Vaughan, Jerry Donohue....almost
everyone who has ever picked up a guitar and made a statement. More than
all of these, and the one guitarist he most admires, is the incomparable Larry
Carlton.
Any
resemblance between Paul and Larry is purely coincidental, but it's interesting
to note they have never been seen together....makes you think, doesn't
it?.
