Paolo Nutini Tickets Continued
Paolo Nutini, who has no formal musical training, was expecting to follow his father into
the family fish and chip shop business. He was first encouraged to sing by his music-loving
grandfather and a teacher at his school who recognised his talent. He left school to work as a
roadie and to sell t-shirts for Speedway and spent three years learning the music business,
performing live, alone and with a band, and working as a studio hand at Glasgow's Park Lane
Studio.
A Daily Record journalist, John Dingwall, saw him performing at the Queen Margaret Union,
and invited him to appear live on Radio Scotland. Only 17, he moved to London, and performed
regularly at the Bedford pub in Balham while still legally too young to drink alcohol himself. Other
radio and live appearances followed, including two live acoustic spots on Radio London, The
Hard Rock Cafe, and support slots for Amy
Winehouse and KT Tunstall.
Throughout 2006, Paolo Nutini played a number of sell-out concerts in the UK, and
performed at a wide variety of venues worldwide. He supported The Rolling
Stones in Vienna and was invited to appear with them again at the Don Valley Stadium in
August 2006. He was also booked to appear at the V Festival and the Austin City
Limits Music Festival, Texas later in 2006, with a European tour in the Autumn. Paolo
Nutini's influences include David Bowie, Damien Rice, Oasis, the Beatles, U2, Pink Floyd and Fleetwood
Mac.
