Paul started in music playing in local bands in the late 80s and then embarking on his own material during the mid-90s to 2002.Being a lifelong fan of Bowie, Paul got to see him on tour numerous occasions and very briefly met him in 1997 during his Earthling tour.Paul first caught national attention when he appeared on Stars In Their Eyes in 1993, the first series hosted by Mathew Kelly, where he performed Space Oddity, dressed as Bowies legendary Ziggy Stardust. From there he performed at conventions around the country as Bowie.After 1995 Paul embarked on playing his own material and spent the late 90s recording his own songs. Around 2002 a friend asked Paul why dont you put a Bowie tribute together. Paul replied saying I would enjoy it too much and everything else I am planning will end up on the back burner, and so it did as the start of Aladdinsane was in the midst.Aladdinsane was the classic album that David released in 1973, which was the first album Bowie album Paul got as a child from his parents, hence why he chose the name for the band.Paul then embarked on finding the musicians required to cover a vast range of David Bowies single and classic album tracks. The line-up of the band changed during the 2000s and now with Steve Beeston on keyboards, Carl Stones on guitar, Franco Caprio on bass, Rick Cook on drums and Paul as Bowie with 12 string acoustic, make up the sound of Aladdinsane the band it is today.Having played at some wonderful theatres and travelled to places like Bahrain, Qatar and Berlin where Paul played an acoustic set at Hansa studios where Bowie recorded Heroes, he said it is like an ongoing rollercoaster.With so many songs to choose from you can hear many hits like Space Oddity. Changes, Ashes to Ashes, Heroes, Lets Dance, Drive In Saturday, Jean Genie, Life On Mars, Fame, Starman and Diamond Dogs to list but a few, including some classic album tracks from Bowies vast repertoire.Paul changes outfits during each show which can stem from any of Bowies tours from 1976 to 2003.The songs are mixed in no chronological order so that the audiences are left wondering what is next after each song giving the show a more exciting feel.

Annual Write a Lincolnshire Song Finals Night

Between 1964 and 1979 Manfred Mann scored three British Number One hits plus two more Number One hits in America plus another seven that went Top 5 and six more that made the Top 10. Over this period Manfred Manns bands featured some of the finest singers on the British pop and rock scene: Paul Jones, Mike dAbo, Mick Rogers and Chris Thompson, all of whom have gone on to enjoy successful and varied solo careers. Their distinctive voices have all added to the rich variety of Manfred Manns classic hits. South African-born Manfred Lubowitz arrived in Britain in 1961. He was already an accomplished jazz pianist and quickly established himself on the London club circuit with drummer Mike Hug with whom he formed the Mann Hug Blues Brothers. In 1963 the band was re-christened Manfred Mann and with a line-up featuring Paul Jones on vocals and harmonica, Mike Vickers on guitar, flute and saxophone, Tom McGuinness on bass and Hug they set their sights on the British pop scene which was about to explode. They may have been a musically well-educated band but there was nothing sophisticated about Manfred Manns first hit the rowdy, frenetic 5-4-3-2-1 that they wrote for the theme song of the groundbreaking TV pop show Ready Steady Go! Boosted by its weekly exposure on the programme the single reached Number 5 early in 1964. Manfred Mann had their first Number One in the summer of that year with Do Wah Diddy Diddy Diddy, written by the famous New York Brill Building song writing duo of Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry. They also found themselves in the vanguard of the British pop invasion of America alongside the Beatles and the Animals (and ahead of the Rolling Stones) as the song shot to the top of the US charts. The band then proceeded to apply their sharp musical talents to other suitable pop songs such as Sha La La (an American hit for the Shirelles), the poignant Come Tomorrow and Oh No Not My Baby (written by another famous Brill Building duo, Carole King and Gerry Goffin) before turning their attention to Bob Dylans If You Gotta Go, Go Now that was a Number 2 hit in the UK and earned the approval of Dylan himself. In April 1966 Manfred Mann notched up their second British Number One with the gorgeous, melodic Pretty Flamingo. Surprisingly it only scraped into the American Top 30 but it left a lasting impression on a teenage Bruce Springsteen who regularly played it live during the early part of his career. Pretty Flamingo was the crowning glory for the first incarnation of Manfred Mann, not least for the personality-driven voice of Paul Jones who decided to bow out on a high note. He launched a solo career and starred in the movie Privilege playing a rock star before becoming one of Britains leading experts and commentators on the blues and R&B. His departure put the groups future in jeopardy but his replacement, the unknown public schoolboy Mike DAbo immediately stamped his own character on the band and the hits flowed seamlessly on Dylans Just Like A Woman, the quirky Semi-Detached Suburban Mr James and Ha! Ha! Said The Clown before racking up their third UK Number One early in 1968 with Dylans Mighty Quinn, an anthemic masterpiece that astonishingly Dylan never released himself. As the Sixties drew to a close Manfred and Mike Hug decided to explore new musical directions and after more Top Ten hits with My Name Is Jack, Fox On The Run and Ragamuffin Man, they disbanded Manfred Mann. The other members soon found new careers in other bands (Tom McGuiness formed McGuinness Flint) or in production. Mike DAbo was already an accomplished songwriter. Manfred and Mike Hug meanwhile embarked on a brief anti-pop career with the self-explanatory Chapter Three, a jazz-rock ensemble complete with a five-piece brass section. that was wilfully uncommercial but musically rewarding. After two albums Mike Hug decided to pursue a career composing soundtracks which notably included Up The Junction. Meanwhile key members of the 60s Manfred Mann line-ups Paul Jones, Mike DAbo, Mike Hugg and Tom McGuinness have banded together and perform as The Manfreds. Such is the enduring legacy of Manfred Mann over the past 40 years. In 2007, Mike dAbo became the proud father of twins, Ellie and Louis, and, for this year, he will be taking some time out to spend with his family. The Manfreds Let Em Roll tour takes to the road with a new album release.aptly titled Let Em Roll.and Mike will join the band for a few festival dates throughout the year before re-joining for their highly acclaimed Maximum Rhythm n Blues UK tour in 2010.
