As the frontman and songwriter of one of the most iconic bands of the late '90s, the creative force that brought the classic hit single InchWide Open SpaceInch and the Number 1 album Attack Of The Grey Lantern with Mansun, Paul Draper's talent preceeds him. Mansun's four albums launched the band in to a fervent cult following that has grown and holds an annual convention in the UK in the band's name. 2016 saw Draper's triumphant return with two new EPs to set the Mansun fandom aflame, including industry gatekeepers Steve Lamacq and Chris Hawkins for BBC 6 Music. He was supported further with playlisting on Radio X, a Q Magazine Track Of The Day, NME Track Of The Week, a feature from The Line Of Best Fit, and an exclusive remix from Public Service Broadcasting.
