Paul Noonan Solo

Any new news on Paul's solo project at all? It was reported in Feb 2012, and album expect late the same year.....

I definitely love what I've heard so far from this. Apparatchik was my clear favourite yesterday, enhanced only by the fact that it has plenty of Lisa on it. Today, I am definitely leaning towards If I Had Your Grace and also have a new appreciation for Vapour Trail. Really looking forward to hearing the entire album. For anyone who hasn't heard any of it:

Good to see even a little activity on here.

Really liking what ive heard too, 'If I Had Your Grace' is very beautiful and 'Apparatchik' is fantastic too, plenty of Lisa is always a good thing

I'm very sorry now I wont be around for the show on the 24th

Pretty quiet here lately, but anyway

Bell X1's bonus track on Blue Lights 'The Snowman' has turned up on Paul's solo album 'The Right Sleeve' and beautiful it is, sang with Gemma Hayes.

By the way speaking of which, does anyone have the Bell X1 version of it that had a really rocky guitar outro, used to have it saved but can't find it now.

Album is quite decent but feel it could have been so much better.

I grabbed a rip of the National Concert Hall stream if anyone would like it?

Also, Rocky my man, what's the craic? Still in Boston these days?

[Rocky]

I would definitely love a copy of that.

I am still in Boston. Moving from the suburbs into Somerville on Wednesday so that's very exciting. Then in another month I'm going back to Ireland for a few weeks to see the family and get married and all that stuff. It's an exciting time to be me right now.

You moved to Texas the last time I heard? Are you still there?

[Mr Benn]

Am indeed, though the plan is to move out to California in January/February hopefully. Had planned on moving this year but visa stuff got in the way.

What part of Somerville? Used to live in Porter Square myself.

Will send you a link to that recording once I've split out the tracks.

[Rocky]

Oh sounds good. You're really getting around the country which is pretty cool. What part of California (although there could be 6 Californias soon apparently)?

I live on Beacon Street right beside The Thirsty Scholar and a 2 minute walk from Inman Square. It's pretty much on the Somerville / Cambridge line, about a 20 min walk from Porter Square. I'm slowly re-establishing my relationship with Porter Square. When I got here first and had dreams of working in a grassroots organization interested in the greater good, I spent two days knocking on doors around Porter Square begging people for money. I quit after the second day. It's a really nice area though.

Don't worry, replying late seems to be the flavor of the month around here. I have yet to see San Francisco but the wife (still feels weird) loves it and my uncle is there so I'm sure I'll get there some day. There are other shenanigans afoot for me Saturday night so I won't be able to check out Storyman.

Any sign of that PC gig?

[Mr Benn]

Haha I'm useless I know

Flying back to Ireland on Friday, so will be a hectic next few days, but you'll have it within the week!
