Paul Newton from Uriah Heep talks to Phil Aston for the Now Spinning Magazine Podcast Welcome to another episode of the Now Spinning Magazine Podcast! In this episode my guest is Paul Newton. He’s known for his remarkable bass playing skills, he’s been a part of the progressive rock scene since the late 60s, and he was the original bass guitarist for Uriah Heep. Recently, he added ‘author’ to his impressive repertoire. Paul’s music career is one to be celebrated. His early days with the progressive group Shinn saw him collaborate with organist Don Shinn and drummer Brian “Blinky“ Davison. He then joined forces with Ken Hensley and Lee Kerslake in a reformed line-up of The Gods before becoming a founding member of Uriah Heep. Paul played a pivotal role in Uriah Heep’s first three albums, which really set the foundation for the band’s illustrious career. He has appeared on a plethora of recordings. In recent years, he’s taken the stage with Uriah Heep Legends, alongside fellow Uriah Heep alumni Ken Hensley, John Lawton, and Lee Kerslake. He was also at the Masters of Rock Festival in the Czech Republic on 11th July 2019, where he played with Uriah Heep for the first time since 1971. That was a momentous occasion for rock fans around the world! Paul has made his debut as an author with the release of his book ’Bone Structure: A Journey From Boy To Band’. This fictional story, based on his life, gives us a unique glimpse into his journey through the eyes of an alter-ego.
