Paul grew up in the South of England where he watched his older brother start a punk band in 1977. Subsequently he played in a couple of bands, and he talks about how him leaving his then band Older Than Dirt somehow led him to leave Britain and move to Spain. I was introduced to him a few years ago by a shared friend in Mallorca and we ended up playing together for two years in Sa Causa, a band that broke up recently after finishing the mixing on our first and last album, due to musical differences. We try to find closure during this conversation and mend our broken band hearts. So this is quite a typical BALG episode about universal travelling and band breakups, this time however featuring some first hand eyewitness reports on the UK punk scene from the late 70s to the early 90s.
