Circle 3 - Biography
Circle 3 formed originally in 2003 when front man Paul Ryan had a bizarre dream where hed entered a new name and number into his mobile phone. The new name circle and the number?..yep just a single 3
Paul thought this was a bit strange but it wasnt until a few months later when hed seen a number 3 with a circle around scraped into the dust on the back of a lorry, did he decide to find the meaning of Circle 3.
After searching the net and asking friends he couldnt find anything to link with it so decided to set up a project called, Circle 3 where he can combine his passions of Music, Travel and Good causes work into one project.
This page represents the band side of the project which has so far taken the band on many adventures and random shows across the UK and soon Europe.
Paul met guitarist Kevyn Williams through mutual friends, and wasnt until they started jamming a few covers one drunken evening did they decide to perform together. Paul invited Kev to play on the album he was recording with various musicians. The album Phases had many different guest pianists, bassists, guitarist, cellists and vocalists on it and is Circle 3s debut.
Many a drummer and bassist played in the band until Chris Laird became the 3rd official member, shortly followed by Sam Morris in August 2005 who joined on bass. This has changed the sound of the band for the better and have started writing and performing new material which has a rougher more rockier sound.
The band want to gig as much as they can and usually give away free promo CDs at gigs. They just want to be heard, and if they ever get offered to do this as a job, they would drop it all and carry on what seems to be the best experiences theyve had.
Just watch them play live once and then its up to you whether youre a fan or not.
