Paul Mcilwaine Music



Welcome to the

I started out in music back in the late seventies playing guitar and songwriting in several Northern Irish punk and power-pop bands.  I currently record and master music in my own home studio 'Wonderland Studio'. I write and record original music for radio, TV and film as well as licensed music publishing. My first passion is guitar music especially blues, acoustic, nu jazz and gospel. I am currently published by Rockstarmedia and Plankton Records.
