Paul Goodwin
Paul Goodwin grew up in London but lives in Cambridge now. He's spent the last 10 years or so dragging his guitar around the rail network and on the odd plane, playing his quietly heartbreaking songs anywhere that would have him, to anyone who would listen, and quite a few people that wouldn't. His music has taken him all over the UK as well as to Canada, France and America and he's played alongside acts ranging from Alessi's Ark to Waterson:Carthy to Wayne Hussey. His painstakingly produced first album, Scars came out in 2009 and the follow up mini-album Trinkets and Offcuts is released in summer 2011. He also made several EPs and had an acoustic CD on pioneering internet record label Burning Shed.
