About The Paul Mirfin Band

The Paul Mirfin Band are a group of Yorkshire musicians who sing about faith and all life throws at them. Lyrics are crucial, harmonies and rhythms are important but good melodies and riffs are essential. Their sound brings a Yorkshire slant to American country porch music, at times leaning towards folk rock with influences such as Johnny Cash, Mumford & Sons and David Crowder. Layered with arresting harmonies, their songs brings a touching truth and simplicity to the  new music scene.

With a background working on the railways and childhood years in Sheffield, Paul’s melodies and lyrics are full of Northern grit and honesty. From the stillness and peace of Trust in the Silence to foot stomping beats in Bring the Rain and We are Three Paul has an ability to capture hearts and souls through his songs.

In 2017 they released a cover version of This Train is Bound for Glory along with a music video that had overnight success on Youtube. They released their debut album in 2018 and the title track ‘Ancient Roads’ was played as track of the week on BBC Introducing and UCB. In 2016 they were featured in a special railway edition of BBC1 Songs of Praise. Other successes include Best Rock Video 2017 at the JUMP Music Awards for ‘The Fighter’. They have appeared at Spring Harvest, Creation Fest and Joshua Fest, California and at Mighty Men's Conference with Angus Buchan.
