Nottingham variety cabaret singer mid sixties to mid seventies

Paul Wynter , not to be confused with the well known body builder and actor, was a singer from the Nottingham area.

Paul recorded a four track demo ep with Mansfield group The Limelights at Codolar studios on High Pavement Nottingham. This alliance didn’t last. Paul carried on with his solo career and The Limelights eventually renamed themselves Limelight in 1970 and gradually moved away from club music to heavy rock.
