Paul lives in Ballinlaw (formerly Camnoc), Slieverue, Co. Kilkenny with his wife, Kathryn and with his three sons, Kieran (the inspiration for "Dream On"), Conor and Brian. Conor and Brian have yet to inspire anything more than palpitations.

Paul is highly regarded throughout the country and further afield for his accomplished musicianship and is a sought after guitar player who has played with numerous respected and successful local bands. For almost twenty years Paul has also played on albums and tours internationally with Liam Clancy, the last of the great troubadours.
