Born 9th November 1952

Died 14th November 2006

My brother William Paul, know as Paul by our family and affectionately by his nickname “Short” by his many friends. Since a young age Paul’s life was his music, he was a talented guitar player having played in some successful bands in his younger years and latterly in the bars of Belfast & beyond, content to be playing and providing enjoyment for those who watched & listened.

He taught a number of aspiring musicians to play and in that respect his influence lives on.

He was a free spirit who lived life in his own way, not interested in the rat race. In his life he travelled to many parts of the world, but in recent years he enjoyed very much his annual trip to Portugal with his motor biking friends, at the Faro Biker’s Rally & made many friends from near and far at those rallies.

The following links will take you to some pictures his family & friends have put together & a further link to his early band career.
