In 2008 Paul McLinden released his first solo album "Wings and Wheels".
This country tinged record was all about travel and it was warmly received wherever it travelled to, gaining plaudits from people such as Tom Morton of BBC Radio Scotland who described it as his favourite Scottish debut of the year.
Since then Paul has toured nationally with Pete Doherty, contributed songs to Dot Allisonís latest album as well as finding his music featured on everything from a Ralph Lauren catwalk show in New York, to recent episodes of C.S.I. based in the same city.
