Music | Bell X1’s Paul Noonan to debut new project Printer Clips with album and live show

Much like fellow Bell X1 bandmate David Geraghty who has a new project (Join Me in the Pines), Paul Noonan has announced details of his new project Printer Clips.

Printer Clips is based around a collection of songs Paul wrote as duets, and over the past couple of years he has been taking a simple recording set-up to hallways, basements & bedrooms in Montreal, New York, Dublin & London.  The results feature tracks with Joan as Policewoman, Martha Wainwright, Lisa Hannigan, Gemma Hayes, Julia Stone, Amy Milan, Cathy Davey, Danielle Harrison & Maria Doyle Kennedy.

The songs will be released in 3 parts – first “The Left Sleeve EP” on 25 April, then “The Right Sleeve EP” on 16 May and finally the full album on 23 May.

Printer Clips will make it’s live debut at The National Concert Hall on 24 May, with tickets on sale now.  Performances on the night will come from Paul with Lisa Hannigan, Gemma Hayes, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Cathy Davey, Danielle Harrisson. Occasionally accompanied by Caoimhin O’Raghallaigh

The first track to be revealed from the album is “Apparatchik” featuring Lisa Hannigan, which you can listen to below.
