About John Paul
John Paul went to the Laird School of Art and spent three decades as a photographer starting with Forensic Photography (Yes, years of the real life scary stuff of Silent Witness) followed by some crazy rollercoaster times that included 12 years working with HRH Diana Princess of Wales on the Kensington Palace Photographic Rota, all of which plus a lot more is well documented in the autobiography I Saw Her Standing There. JP has also featured on television, radio and as a real life character in Blake Morrison’s collection of stories entitled Too True.
Poet & Author: Works include 5 volumes of poetry, 4 art books and the official biographies of two Italian saints: Clare of Assisi and Gemma Galgani of Lucca.
Songwriting: Rock bands and solo singers: Saxon, Nazareth, Hawkwind, Supertramp, Lindisfarne, Canned Heat, Judie Tzuke, Kiki Dee and Suzanne Vega have all helped and contributed with the poetry books and this has reignited brand new songwriting along with rediscovering some early material from the 1970s, some written from a time in a short lived band. These original indie live demo songs are currently being prepared for future release.
