Promises/Magic City Reviews.

Two very shiny reviews of Promises & Magic City have recently surfaced in the USA. To view them click on the album covers below. 

Gibson Les Paul?

Well, we never thought we'd see the day that Paul Rose would appear with a Gibson Les Paul in place of his trusted Fender reissue strats, but low and behold that day has arrived. Here is a pic of Paul with the Gibson Les Paul Gold Top, 1957 Custom Shop reissue, now being weilded at various discreet locations in the north east of England.

Paul Rose Band storms Colne Blues Festival.

Paul and his band delivered a great show headlining the British Stage at the Colne Blues festival on Sat August 23rd. After a superb acoustic gig earlier in the afternoon, the stage was set for Paul with Ian Thompson on bass & Neil Ramshaw on drums, to take the midnight spot totally by storm. The guys did not disappoint. After a four year absence and in front of a capacity crowd, the Paul Rose Band made a devastating return to the Great British Blues festival. The show was videod, so if we can track down a copy and it is good enough quality, we'll post highlights here via youtube. Stay tuned for further updates and more pics etc.

Glasgow gigs confirmed.

Two gigs in the Glasgow area have just been confirmed, one of which is Rockers in the centre of town. The other is The Argyle & Sutherland in Greenock. Paul has not played in central Glasgow with the band for a couple of years, and is looking forward to playing back in his honorary home town. Should be a wild weekend. See "Shows" for dates and venues.

Paul Rose wins Seymour Duncan contest.

Paul Rose has just come second in Seymour Duncans "Gear Experts" competition. An international invitation for guitarists to submit a youtube video demoing any Seymour Duncan product of their choice. The video that was entered is "Telecasting From Home" and features Paul playing a USA '52 reissue Fender Tele, fitted with Seymour Duncans Alnico Pro II pickups. Although the video was shot prior to the competition and was never originally intendid for the comp, we will not grumble at this second prize of an SFX08 Power Grid. On hearing the news, Paul said "I'd forgotten all about that....Nice!!"
