Paul Jermyn, Guitarist, Singer/Songwriter from Cavan Town,
Paul will perform sets from his new album. Paul covers a wide variety of music styles from screaming lead solos to subtle acoustic playing. "Musically I'm a bit of a Jekyll & Hyde. there is so much good music out there across all genres that it's impossible for me not to try to be able to play a little bit of everything...but it must be melody driven." There is yet another facet to Paul's music career. He is a talented songwriter/composer and has collaborated & played on numerous Rock, Folk & Traditional recordings including the critically acclaimed "This Town" which helped to co-write with Gerry Henderson. He is a widely respected and experienced studio musician and continues work with producer Peter Keenan of Stockton’s Wing Fame. This has earned him many admirers in the Contemporary Irish song-writing & music scene. Paul is a member of The Registry of Guitar Tutors and lives in Haworth, West Yorkshire with his wife Alison & Baby Daughter, Niamh. He teaches Guitar in Keighley Musicians Centre, West Yorkshire.
