Paul Marshall

about

Bella Union said: "Paul Marshall greets his audience and the airwaves armed with just himself and his acoustic guitar. Lulled into a false sense of security with gorgeous melodies, the lyrics reveal a darker undercurrent where death, love, regret and murder are all touchstones. Covering the macabre in his songwriting has become his stand out from the broad brush strokes of British folk. Drawing obvious comparisons to Nick Drake, the songs on his debut album ‘Vultures’ match sparse, prettily penned ditties with mature matters of the heart. And what better way to embellish than a healthy addition of cello, courtesy of Åsa Magnusson. ‘Each song is visually evocative and emotionally dense. Passing among them is like time spent in a deserted gallery, each image more compelling and unsettling than the last. The authority of Marshall's performance is reassurance in a difficult place.’ Whisperinandhollerin.com Like every great writer Marshall’s history is an unsettled one. Growing up in London, he then moved to Whitby on the north-east coast where he learnt his trade, aged 18. However the buzz of metropolis called, and Leeds is now home, a vibrant and music soaked city where inspiration is always around the corner. But in that fantastical and curious way, the past catches up, and where Marshall’s first group Rays Of Helios supported Jeniferever, it brought the twain to meet. Extensively touring throughout 2007, with eclectic bills alongside These Monsters, We Vs Death,
