Accompanying himself on guitar, mandolin and bodhran, Paul will take you on an emotional journey, with the sorrow of injustice in songs from his new cd “Plastic.” In the space of one song, he can take his audience from foot stomping energy to the absolute stillness of choked-back tears. You will not be disappointed.

There is a cap of the number of audience allowed on the Tank Deck venue, so be seated prior to 6.30pm to avoid disappointment. Tel: 604-204-0044/604-272-9294.
