Sloe Gin anyone?

February 3rd, 2010 · Blood Fish and Bone, Music

As I sit here sipping my ‘vintage 2007′ sloe gin, I thought it only right to share it round. Here’s a little taster from the forthcoming ‘Blood, Fish and Bone’.

Blood, Fish and Bone UK release date

January 21st, 2010 · Blood Fish and Bone, News, Uncategorized

At long last the new album has a UK release date of the 10th May. There will hopefully be some long overdue UK dates, who knows, maybe even a little tour. Seeing as Evermine never came out over here this will be the first since  Songs Without Words in 2003. I’m approaching Blue Nile levels of tardiness here, but with the next album already written there can be no excuses for such a prolonged absence again, and if there is, I promise I’ll get a note from my mom.

First reviews of Blood, Fish and Bone

December 3rd, 2009 · Reviews, Uncategorized

Blood Fish and Bone coverThe release of my new album Blood, Fish and Bone in Germany has attracted some very kind reviews. Here are some of the kindest (In German then English):

Das ist wunderbar. Der auf der Isle Of Wight lebende Paul Armfield singt, als ob permanent die Sonne untergeht. Das Meer rauscht ruhig an die Küste und die Lieder dazu sind wie guter Whiskey, alter, gut abgelagerter Brand. Elf Folklore-Stücke von Lebenslust und Melancholie!”

(Volly Tanner, Zeitpunkt-Kulturmagazin Leipzig)

This is wonderful, from the Isle of Wight Paul Armfield sings as if the sun is always setting. The sea crashes on the shore and the songs come like a fine, matured whiskey. Eleven folk pieces of love, life and melancholy. [Read more →]

Live in London on the 18th December

December 3rd, 2009 · News

Once again the very lovely and delightful Ten Minute Cloud have asked me to support them at their forthcoming London Show at the Cockpit Theatre in Gateforth Street, London. I should be onstage around 7.00-7.30ish and will be rushing off home straight after as the next day might be quite busy at work.
