Check out this review from Paul’s recent performance at Brighton’s Ali-Cats taken from music blog Bad Bunny Writes Back http://badbunnybitesback.wordpress.com/

“Paul has one of those voices that really make you sit up and listen, and his musical friends area  talented bunch too. They began with a very quiet song called Heartbreak & Me, which featured strong, harmonious vocals and a nice little piano solo.

After another of their own songs, Medusa Has Gone, they performed a cover of Ladder by Joan Osborne, again a perfect chance to showcase the perfect harmonies between Paul on lead vocals and Embob in support.

They finished off with two of their own songs, Roses and Strangers, and Paul revealed that as well as a forthcoming tour, they will be supporting former Fame Academy performer Alistair Griffin at the Komedia on 9th September – I’d recommend catching Paul and friends at one of their upcoming gigs, you won’t be disappointed.”

Check out this new review from Paul Diello and Friends live at the Station taken from music blog Bad Bunny Bites Back

“The headliners of the night were Paul Diello & Friends. Paul is Brighton Music Awards 2010′s Best Solo Artist and has an amazing voice and excellent band of companions.

All dressed in matching black and blue, this band’s bruising, beautiful melodies had a darker edge than some of the acts that had gone before – one of the best parts of The Live Music Station was the diversity and quality of artists.

Paul and company – which included a saxophonist in the line-up – were true cloud pleasers and had the audience clapping and stamping and singing along, baying for an encore when their time was all too quickly up.

I picked up one of their CDs, The Last Green Bottle, and would thoroughly recommend it, particularly loving You Lose. My cat, Xena, clearly agrees as I am playing it now and she has sat herself next to the computer speakers”

For those of you in Brighton, tune into 107.2fm this evening at 7.30pm to hear Paul being interviewed on the Tony Marks new music show. For out of towners log on to juicebrighton.com. After the interview Paul will be heading down to the Windmill, upper north street to headline the christmas party with a solo set.

We are delighted to announce that Paul Diello has been voted Best Solo Artist in Brighton at the first ever Brighton Music Awards 2010. The ceremony took place at the Brighton Centre this Tues and as well as receiving the award, Paul performed his tune ‘Flame’ from debut album ‘The Last Green Bottle’.

“It was the most amazing night, after I performed Flame, Jimmy Page came up to me in the dressing room and told me how much he enjoyed it, he asked for a cd of mine and asked ME to sign it for HIM!! That certainly doesn’t happen every day! I also got a pat on the back from Roger Daltery, I’m still buzzing!”

A big thank you to all of you that voted for Paul.

Read the review for Paul’s show at the Iambic Arts Theatre Oct 23rd:

“In an obscure back street venue, the Iambic Arts Theatre, Paul Diello welcomed an intimate audience with a sundry set that was bursting with unmistakable talent. His note perfect vocals, blue eye shadow and swept haircut at first appeared ostentatious, but his open appreciation and amusing stories of social mishaps were enough to win over the most sceptical of onlookers. His songs, which mostly consisted of ballads and a Damian Rice cover, were transfixing and sometimes moving. Supported by a guitarist, violinist and backing vocal, the ensemble did not miss a beat and his host of ‘friends’ entered the stage with their diverting contributions.”
