Paul started his career with Manchester band The Ya Ya's who were touring buddies with a then unknown Oasis.[6] They played their first London gigs together and continue their friendship until today.[7] Noel Gallagher described Paul's songs as "a cross between the Stones, Neil Young and the Band. It's a lesson in songwriting."[8][9][10] Paul can be seen playing piano in the videos for Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds single "In the heat of the moment"[11] and "The Ballad of the Mighty I"[12] Paul recently opened up for Noel around Europe[13][14][15][16] and his concert at Düsseldorf Mitsubishi Arena was broadcast in Germany on legendary TV show Rockpalast[17]
