Paul Haig is a Scottish indie composer, musician and singer. He was originally the
lead singer/songwriter in 1980s post-punk band 'Josef K' ('one of the most influential
bands in Britain' -The Guardian) who were assigned to the Postcard record label.

There has been a resurgence of activity over the last couple of years from ROL.
In 2007, Haig's first single for 14 years, Reason (a BBC Radio 2 single of the
week), was released, available via download and 7" vinyl. Followed soon after
by Electronik Audience. This album showcased Paul's influences from Kraftwerk
and New Order to Cabaret Voltaire. 2007 also saw the first live appearance
from Paul in many years when he appeared at the Billy Mackenzie tribute concert
in London. Yet another new album, Go Out Tonight, a more organic album than
Electronik Audience, was released in April 2008. Go Out Tonight saw Paul return
to his roots and tracks such as Trouble Maker are very reminiscent of early solo
recordings. Haig also embarked on his first tour since 1989 when he promoted
both old and new tracks in Scotland and selected UK dates in April 2008.

November 2009 saw the release on ROL of Haig's album 'Relive' (ROL021),check
