Paul Shevlin - he's a bit handy. Young chap from Ballymena. Plays piano with swooping aplomb. He cites Duke Special and Ben Folds as influences, and this you can surmise by hearing the music. He also has a tight little band that slams and rolls and on his current release, 'Lift Up Your Head', all this is beautifully demonstrated. Given that Ram's Pocket Radio and Silhouette are also keyboard propelled, you can safely say that our local piano tutors have been put to excellent use in recent years.
