Mick Ryan and Paul Downes

The Castle · Bradford

Mick is well known on the folk scene as a fine singer of traditional and original songs. Having written both comic and serious material for the very popular band “Crows” in the 1980’s, and his duo with Pete Harris which appeared at every major club and festival in the country, he has since written for radio and a series of highly successful folk musicals: ‘A Tollpuddle Man’ (with Graham Moore); ‘A Day’s Work’ ; ‘The Voyage’; ‘Tanks for the Memory’, ‘The Navvy’s Wife’ and ‘Paupers Path’. Paul has a sensitive, yet fun approach to live performances which puts him among the most respected artists on the British acoustic music scene today. He has been introduced (to his embarrassment) as one of the greatest acoustic guitarist in the world.

Paul has a rich musical background that has progressed through working with Phil Beer, The Arizona Smoke Revue, Pete Seeger and, The Joyce Gang. Nine albums with bands, four highly acclaimed solo albums and over two hundred s...
