PAUL HAIG DAY!

Paul Haig is a Scottish indie composer, musician and singer. He was originally a member of the brilliant 1980s post-punk band  Josef K who were assigned to the Postcard record label along with Orange Juice, Aztec Camera and the Go-Betweens.
 
Josef K (who have since become 'one of the most influential bands in Britain' -The Gaurdian) recorded five singles and an album 'The Only Fun in Town' with Haig on lead vocals, before splitting after touring in July and August 1981; their final Scottish date was in Glasgow. 

Paul Haig has been recording and performing as a solo artist since that time.
