Introducing -: Paul Newton, songwriter, teacher, commentator.
Paul has written an almost unprecedented 9000 songs since starting out way back in 1964. At various times he has been a teacher in Leeds in the 70s and 80s, a sports broadcaster with Pennine Radio, a horse racing correspondent and a cricket commentator for Cricketcall and BBC Essex. He has also written and performed four shows on the Edinburgh Fringe.
Thanks to his long-time collaborator and now ‘webmeister’, Martyn Healy, a selection of his more recent songs can at last be heard on line on the album, ‘Songs of the Ninth Millennium’, volumes 1 & 2. And just added the two-volume collection “The devil undid my flies”.
Paul has had more than fifty of his songs recorded by studio musicians and singers in Nashville and this collection alternates between Nashville recordings and Paul’s own performances recorded in his studio in Dedham, Essex UK.
Elsewhere, the further albums listed below feature a potpourri of the full range of Paul’s highly original material performed and recorded by himself in Dedham as well as a few more tracks cut in Nashville.
