PAUL ARMFIELD
Raised on a diet of Elvis, Black Sabbath and Elton John, I joined my first band at the age of twelve, shortly after moving from Birmingham to the Isle of Wight. True to the spirit of punk we had a name before we'd even learned to play. I chose bass because of Paul Simonon and Jean Jacques Burnel. Between then and now I've done the full circuit of the Isle of Wight music scene, playing jazz, latin, soul, blues, gypsy, bluegrass, pop, country, folk, cajun...I only started singing and writing in earnest when I started working with Adam Kirk. I'd played in bands with Adam when he was just starting on guitar, by the time we came to collaborate he was touring the world as Joan Baez' accompanyist, whenever he had time off we'd sit down together and write and record our songs- the first of these collaborations was an early version of 'Trigonometry'. Outside of a couple of gigs supporting the likes of Kate Rusby and Stacey Earle we had no ambitions for this project other than to get together when we could just to make music. It was these early demos that caught the attention of new label 'A Townful of Fonzies'- the rest is recent history.
