Interview with Paul Evans (Delirious?)

Dec 1st, 2008 | By Matt | Category: Interviews

Paul Evans is the envy of many a drummer as he was chosen to pick up where Stew Smith (Delirious?) left off. Bringing his energy and enthusiasm and wealth of drumming experience to the table, and the news that Delirious? are set to end their chapter in the book of music, Paul is a vital [...]

Somehow I found The Gathering [...]
