Paul Aitken
Paul started his musical career in the school orchestra, where he also played with his brother in the Quaker Shakers! - a life changing experience that he blames for everything that's happened since! Later bands included Gray's Elegies, Feet and Diet of Worms. After a period of session work he joined the folk/rock band Ram. When they broke up Precious Little were formed. After more session work and some time working with John Illsley from Dire Straits, The Banned started after a recording session at Riverside Recordings. They released two singles, including the Top 40 hit 'Little Girl', and then Paul left and formed The Specimins. During the 80's he did some recording for the BBC and then came The Retros....
