Paul Englefield + Musician in Coventry, EN

ABOUT

I play swing guitar with a hint of jazz and blues. I love adding a little sparkle to a tight rhythm section and improvising concise melodic solos. In my book, it's all about doing whatever helps a singer shine while keeping things nicely in the groove.

Over the years I've played in folk, blues and swing outfits and I'm currently working with the Coffee House Trio, The Miss Songbird Duo, the Deltics blues band and various informal collaborations.
