Paul Speare plays flute, baritone sax, tenor sax, and alto sax. You can hear Paul on classic albums including; Too-Rye-Ay by Dexy's Midnight Runners, In The Studio with The Special A.K.A, and Punch The Clock by Elvis Costello & The Attractions. This year he performed on two tracks (More and Old Father Tyme) which appear on Paul Weller's most recent album, On Sunset.
Art legends Team Beswick & Pye were delighted to collaborate with the esteemed animator Martin Pickles on a film to accompany Paul's tribute to John Lennon & The Beatles.
Harry Pye says: "Paul composed an amazing piece of music that was full of lovely references to the fab four and George Martin's arrangements. During lock down we began making paintings that we thought would work well with Paul's music. We hope we did him justice." 
Gordon Beswick's painting of John and Yoko appears in the video and is also one of the 80 paintings that feature in John Lennon's Not Dead at The Stash Gallery (near Aldgate East tube). If you want to see the video and hear Paul Speare's music click: here
