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 acoustic stuff on mandolin, octave mandola, and basic tenor banjo. Also basic percussion on bongo, djembe and congas, and simple BVs.

I'm currently working with the Hanksters ska and reggae band, Mystery Train rock and roll band, Hokum Pete & the Cowpokes, and the occasional chilled blues session with The Lazy Devils.
