"Paul Oxley is an English singer/songwriter and recording artist, from Manchester, who has had five hit albums and several number one hit singles in Scandinavia. Paul has had extensive touring experience in Scandinavia and the United Kingdom and has been a familiar face on TV, especially Finland where he now lives. His hits have been described as timeless and are played frequently on the radio and have been covered by many artists.
Paul's debut album, Living In The Western World (1981), sold platinum and remained at the number one spot for 17 weeks. The follow-up albums Both Sides Of The Equator (1982) and After The Party (1983) as well as achieving gold status, set new standards in the Finnish music world, and influenced many other bands of the times. 'The Magic' was released in 1996 and the band has had three greatest hits albums. Covers of Paul Oxley songs appear regularly in the Finnish top ten.
Pauls skill as a songwriter has been compared to that of Sting, Paul Mcartney, Elvis Costello, Paul Simon and others and when he is not working on his own material he is actively collaborating with writers and producers throughout Europe and the UK."
2008 will see Paul's first solo album which will be released by Sony/BMG at Christmas...To read more go to the website: http//www.pauloxley.co.uk

Hi there Paul. Wow, a whole page in Vasabladet, how about that. Cool :) I was smiling when I read about that gig in the town hall of Vasa all those years ago because I was in the audience. Boy was the place crowded! But I had no idea fans were shaking your car ha ha. Anyway, it's nice to hear that you're making new music and you found some great musicians to work with too. Good luck!
Thank you for the add. It was nice meeting you. I enjoy your music and I was listening to Paul Oxley's Unit way back when I was still in school. If I remember correctly it was Paul Oxley's Radio in those days? Aaaaah, nice memories :) Sunny hot greetings from Jakobstad, Inger

Sad to inform you but Eden Wakes just got a slightly negative review in the Soundi magazine... I read it earlier today. It was something about easy melodies processed to sound typical to the format radio. And you were considered a two hit wonder... in my books you've had six! :)
Thanks Paul for your new YouTube video.Sounds GREAT !!! I had great time with Ken Hensley (middle) and Tapio Minkkinen (right) in Helsinki 30.10.2008 when Ken had solo gig "On The Rocks". Here we are near Helsinki Railway Station before the gig.
Thanks Paul! You're also very welcome to Dubrovnik on December 18th, if you're in Helsinki then. We'll be playing our debut release gig there.(: Take care, Eva
