Paul Openshaw

Guitarists! If you think you've seen everything - every so often a guitarist shows his hands and he's got something different to offer.
Paul Openshaw is just such a man. he plays nearly everything in DADGAD. And when I say everything - I don't mean just songs in D and G. Paul has perfected a mindblowing method of playing in every key - using DADGAD. He's one of these guys who really has ripped up the rule book. Also, it has to be said, he is a songwriter of wit and originality. (Thanks to Big Al Whittle for words)

Following recent performances, Paul's songs and stories have been described as "wry, funny, poignant and incisive by turns" (Lymington Folk Club). Songs are "very original and extremely entertaining" and range from "sensitive to highly amusing" (Ringwood Folk Club). "Songwriter of wit and originality, with something different to offer" (Big Al Whittle).
