ABOUT US:
Amelia Long
Background: Amelia has sung from a young age, joining the choir in her local church and at her primary school. Amelia grew up listening to Mowtown and soul bands as well as soft rock and a lot of country! Amelia comes from a musical family and loves all music genres and listening to new up-coming artists and different styles. She also enjoys going to gigs and watching live music.
Favourite ALong Came Paul Cover: Although I love all of the songs we play, Sweet Child O' Mine is definitely my favourite! I completely love Guns n Roses and I have always loved this song, listening and singing along to it from a young age. Singing it acoustically just makes its meaning deeper and I really enjoy singing it. Paul's playing is fantastic on this version and he brings so much depth to it, which makes it all the better and even more enjoyable! It's a song most people know and love, and so always join in with us. Which is always so good to hear!
Paul Gittins
Background: Paul got his first guitar as a teenager. As well as playing along to the normal teenage Rock stuff, Paul also fell in love with the sound of a picked acoustic guitar by folk artists such as James Taylor. This style still influences Paul's playing in ALong Came Paul.
Favourite ALong Came Paul Cover: Make You Feel My Love (Adele version). We were asked to play an acoustic duet of this as the 'first song' at a wedding. Despite Adele's version being piano based, it transposed nicely into a gentle acoustic sound, and Amelia's voice suited it beautifully. The 'first song' went great - hardly a dry eye in the house! This song has been a staple part of the ALong Came Paul set ever since. I love playing it every time.
