I had the pleasure this morning of giving the first airing to four songs recorded exclusively for Phoenix FM by Brentwood based singer/songwriter Paul Coogan. Paul was one of 23 artists and bands who took part in this year’s Creative Sessions back in May, when he performed Beneath a still sky, Evil lady, Miss trust and Indiscriminate.

And – if the name rings a bell – Paul used to be a presenter here on Phoenix, and we’d featured another of his songs on the show last September, when he released the charity single Unnatural disaster to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks. Profits from that went to an organisation that seeks to spread awareness about the catastrophic health effects on 9/11 First Responders, as well as to help those who are in need of financial support as a result of 9/11 related illness or injury.
