about

"You remember the days when you’d go to a folk club every week, irrespective? Occasionally, you’d go along one week (because that’s what you did) where you knew nothing in advance about the person who was playing … and then you were wowed by what a great evening you’d had? That’s what this album reminds me of. It’s observant of traditional music but builds on it; it’s played and sung elegantly; above all, it’s an hour in the company of someone you’ve just come across – and you’re rather glad that you have." Mike Wistow, Folking.com

Everything you hear on this album (apart from the live tracks) was written, recorded, captured, engineered and produced right here at my newly formed home studio. It’s as eclectic a collection as ever. Along with original songs, I took the opportunity to delve into my personal musical heritage and perform some versions of Irish traditional songs that mean a lot to me. I hope you enjoy the results.

For me - probably Paul Bell's best work and features one of my favourite songs "Mend The Cracks With Gold". A gem of an album that deserves to a place in your collection. Gareth Davies-Jones

Howay The Lasses

I've loved being part of this project. Songs and stories of women from the North East of England who have challenged the status quo, changed history and been an inspiration to all. Gareth Davies-Jones
