Paul Armfield

After several years in revolutionary Eastern Europe, Birmingham born Paul returned to his teenage home of the Isle of Wight in the mid-90s to get married and raise two fantastic children. Playing various instruments, singing, writing literate songs, releasing records, and touring regularly around Europe, Paul has managed to balance his musical career with other jobs in the arts. Paul has spent 20 years in the book trade managing a book store and several years as an arts centre manager. Now back in the book trade – working with publisher Medina Publishing, which put out StoneCrabs’ fantastic Out On An Island book – Paul continues to programme and manage a broad range of cultural events, make music, and enjoy a nice side-line in linocut art.
