spanish sunset


free player from mysplayer.com


This piece of music is influenced by the gypsy music of Spain, Flamenco. This is one musical style in which I compose. I've always liked finger picking styles on the guitar. The Flamenco style I enjoy for it's improvisation, and variety of techniques, using all fingers and thumb of both hands.

To this piece, I have written some verse. Mary Somerville reads
this to the music.

Last Friday myself and other musicians from the Jam Factory played our own music before a live audience at 'The Happy Man Day's' project launch, this has given us the confidence to play before public audiences in the future! (below is a picture of me at the gig)

sound track for north staffs university blogsite

The album is called:"Misty Mountains"(castles in the air). The instrumentals were composed by Phil Dooley and myself, Paul Warrillow. The last track " Baroque" 21, has myself on Spanish guitar with guest musician Andy Clarke, from social services department, Dyke Street, Hanley,
Stoke-on Trent. Being a few minutes walk from the OBSERVATORY'S; 'Jam Factory'.

We have also been asked to perform at 'Growth Point', Shelton, Stoke-on Trent, to promote the 'Jam factory'. This will give us the public experience to play at Longton town hall, Stoke-on Trent. This is in collaboration with World Mental Health day, in October 2007. All our music is original. We record on our own equipment. Burn our own c.d's. Use our own artwork. Print the c.d., cover, label and inner booklet. How cool is that Dudes? We have a regular music venue lined up at: 'The Leopard' Inn, Burslem, Stoke -on Trent. Keep your eyes on our blogsite, we're motoring. Cheers, Paul Warrillow.

about me

Hi dudes! Paul Warrillow here. I like being creative. I feel alive and have a purpose in life. My creativity includes: Art, Music, Verse and Prose. I am mainly self taught. Sometime in the future, I would like my illustrated verse and prose printed in volume form. Included would be a c.d., of my own composed music. This is where I am coming from. Composing music for my illustrated verse and prose. The volume will serve as a catalogue of my work. Individual hand coloured pages will be available for sale.

In additionto this, I am in the process of compiling other illustrated volumes: Folk- Song and Ballad Poetry. These I illustrate by means of Inn/Tavern and Pub Signs. I also include a background history to some features. Others are 'Blues and Jazz Greats'. Folk songs in general.These having a puppeteer as the central character (Seth Davey). After a song "Whiskey On A Sunday". Different puppets will be used to illustrate the song.

Musical styles in which I compose: Country and Chicago Blues. Ragtime-Jazz-Folk- Classical-Baroque-Flamenco.

Some guitarists who have influenced me: Bert Jansch-Ry Cooder-John Fahey- John Martyn- Leo Kottke-Stephen Grossman- Manitas de Plata-Paco de Lucia-Andres Segovia- Lonnie Johnson- Django Reinheardt
