Acoustic duo...

ALong Came Paul

ALong Came Paul are an acoustic duo based in Maidstone, Kent comprising Lisa Clinton and Paul Gittins

A MIX OF WARM ACOUSTIC COVERS TO COMPLEMENT ANY OCCASION

ALong Came Paul was formed out of local Maidstone covers band "Etcetera", when Amelia and Paul (the singer and lead guitarist of that band respectively) were asked to fill breaks with acoustic background music. ALong Came Paul now bring this gentle acoustic sound to pubs and restaurants locally, as well as offering an ideal sound to fill those 'standing-around' parts at any wedding or other function.

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.
