This page is for the 5-piece, Brighton based band, AKA PAPERBOY.
Charlie Marshall - Vocals.
Ollie Noble - Drums.
Max Ellery - Bass.
Natty Wilby - Guitar.
Milo McKinnon - Trumpet/Keys.
Due to various reasons, foreseen, and unforeseen, as of 2017 we collectively decided to put our making music on hold.
Hopefully one day we will regroup in some way and get back to doing what we did best.
As part of AKA PAPERBOY I played Keyboards, Trumpet, Bongos, and Percussion and sang backing vocals. We collectively and collaboratively wrote all our own material, music and words alike, and created a mixed genre sound, blending Soul, Reggae, Pop, Funk, Dub and Ska. We gigged regularly around the South East of England from 2013 - 2017. In our short but incredibly joyous time we played at venues and festivals such as The O2 Forum (Kentish Town), The Great Escape (Brighton), The Alternative Escape (Brighton), The Jazz Café (Camden), The Forge (Camden), Bestival (Isle of Wight), and were lucky enough to support bands such as Madness, The Beat, and Gentleman's Dub Club amongst others.
