he was a friend of mine who I met through Stephen Chambers,He had learned from his neighbour Paddy Murphy,[clare concertina player]and also from Fred Kilroy,he recorded those tunes for me when I was beginning,He took a great fancy to a tune I was playing at the time Dicks Waltz,he called it.
yes, he was in Lancaster in the early seventies.
there is a recording of him playing chromatic harmonica, Father Kellys Reel,on vinyl.
the tune the first slow air he plays on the flute,dont wake me I am sleeping,has a bit of a story attached to it.
Stephen Chambers and I shared a house in leyton, east london.Paul was often visiting.We had a very nosey neighbour called Mrs Lemay,who one day complained about Paul playing his trombone,she said it was stopping her from sleeping,so Paul took every opportunity to play the air in the back garden,close to the boundary fence etc,you should have seen the net curtains twitching.,it was hilarious.
as far as I know this is the only recording of him,it was recorded I would say 1978.I just kick myself for not having recorded more of him.Dick Miles
