Paul Castle is an acoustic guitarist, songwriter, producer and film/tv
     composer from London, England. According to Irish broadcaster and
     journalist John O'Regan, "Paul Castle writes the kind of songs which
     make songwriting the valuable and worthy trade it is. Well crafted
     intelligent lyrics set to contagious melodies and artists like Frances
     Black and others have been quick to realise this and snap up his
     material. The CD Hold Out for Summer perfectly illustrates his musical
     and lyrical attributes. 'Write Him a Letter' and 'Louise (Kick off your
     dancing shoes) are the tuneful radio playlist staples while 'Just about
     leaving' leaves a melancholy yet powerful after effect and the wistful
title track nails his melodic colours to the mast. Old Bear Stories TV theme song shows another
side with an infectuous children's song. 'Hold out for summer' proves the art of quality songwriting
is alive and well."

    Paul's song Write him a letter was covered by Irish star Frances Black
    (with her sister Mary Black) on her album The Sky Road which topped
    the Irish charts in 1995. The song, re-titled Send Him a Letter, was
    subsequently included on the best selling compilation album The Loving
Time and also on The Best of Frances Black in 2000.
But Paul is perhaps best known for his theme song and
background music for the 1993 BAFTA-winning Children's
TV series (40 episodes) of Jane Hissey's Old Bear Stories
which has been shown in over 70 countries throughout
the world and is currently being repeated on Channel Five
in the UK - daily at 6.25am see Old Bear Stories TV Theme Song

    Paul is also a member of the popular UK bluegrass/Cajun/country trio
