OWEN PAUL
'My Favourite Waste Of Time'. Taken from his only album 'As It Is'
this classic track spent 13 weeks in the UK charts, finally peaking at No. 3
Also released 'Pleased to me you' but that never got anywhere in the UK Chart

You might be able to find More out if you look under "Owen Paul Mcgee" ?? as he released stuff in 2002 under his full real name
