Paul Englefield + Musician in Coventry, EN

ABOUT

I play swing guitar with more than a hint of jazz and blues. I love adding a little sparkle to a tight rhythm section and improvising concise melodic solos. For me, it's all about doing whatever helps a singer shine while keeping things nicely in the groove. I'm also happy to play percussion on bongo drums and congas and acoustic stuff on mandolin and octave mandola.
I'm currently working with the Hanksters ska and reggae band, Mystery Train rock and roll band, A-train jazz and Two Bob band Americana.

Over the years I've played in folk, blues, jazz and swing outfits and I'm currently working with the Deltics blues band, A-Train jazz, the Miss Songbird Duo, the Hanksters ska & reggae band and the Mystery Train old school rock and roll band.

I can also handl live sound and lighting.
