Piewatch - Hey Paul! Looks like a lot has changed since you were our Christmas Artist of The month! What have you been up to?
Hello there! Quite a lot has happened since we talked last, I’ve got a quite a few gigs coming up in May/June time…which is always good, I’ve recorded a new single which has got a bit of airplay and I have a few exciting projects on the horizon. Things are on the up!
Piewatch - Congratulations on making the showcase! Looks like NI has a rapidly growing talent pool, who are your favourite bands from in and around the area?
Thanks, hurray! Yeah I’m nearly getting to the stage where I’m just listening to NI bands/artists. It’s a pretty long list but the highlights for me are Foy Vance, Sixstarhotel, Duke Special, Captain Cameron, More Than Conquerors, Panama Kings, Clown Parlour…
Piewatch - New single “Goodmorning” we love it! Tell us more about it, where was it recorded and what is the song about?
Well it’s called “Goodmorning”, glad to see it’s popular. Editor – Whoops! This is reference to me calling it Goodbye in the interview *slaps wrist*
It was recorded in Einstein Studios in Antrim. It’s basically about me having an awful night but then having a few hours the next morning, due to tiredness, where I forget about it and just get on with things. I hope someone can relate to that because reading it, it sounds weird…
Piewatch - We hear you have been guest-ing for the 1930s, is there going to be a fourth member (another front man…)?
Well I just help the lads out live the odd time. Its good fun playing with them, great, catchy wee tunes!
Piewatch - What do you have coming up?
Well if you’re in the Belfast area I’ll be supporting “I Am Not Lefthanded” on the 2nd of June in Laverys and headlining a gig in the Pavilion on the 23rd of June. And if you’re in or near Glasgow I’ll be playing at Solas Festival on the 25th of June and playing in the Kog on the 22nd of May. Come along!
Piewatch – Any last comments, plugs, or shout out’s to the fans?
Oh yeah, you can download the new single “Goodmorning” here: www.nichart.com you’ll find it under downloads! Or…if you want to give me some money buy it off iTunes. I know…I’m sending mixed messages.
Piewatch – Thanks for taking the time out to talk to us again Paul, everyone else go get that single!

Hey this is a great article. I’m going to email this to my buddies. I stumbled on this while googling for some some free downloads, I’ll be sure to visit regularly. thanks for sharing.
Very good artist a bit more experience and he will definitely be a hit hear across the pond. Luckily time is on his side, and in the future Paul Shevlin will be a name to look out for. Remember it’s always better to have your head up in the clouds and be a dreamer than your head up someones ass and be a follower.
Paul is going to be a big star in my opinion. Amazing paino player with a great ear for melody and distinctive vocals.
I really enjoyed reading this. Think I’m going to look through your other posts!
