Paul Griggs has been a professional musician since 1968.
He was a member of "OCTOPUS" who supported many well known groups including "CREAM" and "YES". They had one L.P. and several singles released. The band was run by Paul and his brother Nigel who eventually joined top New Zealand band SPLIT ENZ.
When OCTOPUS finally disbanded, Paul went on to join vocal group GUYS n' DOLLS and their first single "THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF LOVING" went straight to number two in the British charts. In 1978 they had the honour of supporting FRANK SINATRA for a week of concerts at THE ROYAL FESTIVAL HALL in London,
In 1986 he was a finalist in "A SONG FOR EUROPE" with his composition "I'M SORRY" and a year later his song "NO MORE TEARS" was runner up in a song contest that was organised and judged by PAUL McCARTNEY.
Paul's song "I DON'T WANNA LOSE YOU" was recorded by his boyhood hero the late LONNIE DONEGAN.
