Paul Moore – Bass and Vocals 
Paul grew up on a diet of Beatles and Stones and gradually tunneled his way back through to the roots of rock’n’roll to where it all began…the blues. Always a lover of a solid Bass line, he lists among his favorite bass players Paul McCartney (it had to be said), Chris Squire and Phil Lynott. As you may have guessed, he’s been around a while, occasionally popping up here and there to fill in when asked, but has recently found his happy place in the Blue City Wailers. An old soul with a young heart.
