Paul Rose

I. Paul Rose is without doubt one of the most unique and talented guitarists in the world today. Fundamentally a rock guitarist, his extraordinary playing style touches on blues, country, jazz and folk, blended together into a style that is entirely his own. Never a gig goes by where audience members don't comment that Paul is the best guitarist they've seen and heard. Born in Newcastle, north east England in July 1966, Paul's natural gift shone through at an early age. He was already being hailed as one of the best guitarists in the region by the age of 16, playing regularly on the Newcastle live scene with the most popular local bands of the day. Since then Paul has continued to go from strength to strength, having released a total of 12 solo albums to date, selling worldwide to an ever increasing circle of fans. Coupled with his stunning live shows built on 25 years of tough performing experience, Paul is now gaining the worldwide recognition he deserves. Paul has been noticed along the way by some pretty high profile guitar movers and shakers, with Rory Gallagher calling Paul a "Hot Player" and Seymour Duncan naming Paul in his top 5 players (that was 2nd between Jeff Beck 1st & Roy Buchanan as 3rd). As well as many of the major guitar mags writing rave articles about Pauls playing, both in album and concert reviews.
