Greyhounds in the Slips Promo CD

Paul has worked with The Joy Formidable on previous works, but Paul heard through a mysterious grapevine that the band wanted Paul Draper to sing on Greyhounds in the Slips.

According to an interview between Ritzy and an online magazine called Dots & Dashes[1] Ritzy was amongst friends and was talking about great vocalists where Ritzy exclaimed I fucking love Paul Draper's voice. One thing led to another and Paul was on board to help out.

He generously agreed and the first seeds of a happy friendship were sewn. He'll be joining us for the first time live at London's KOKO on October 14 and he will not disappoint you. He's an amazing talent and we're delighted to see him on the stage once again.
