So who am I. Basicly I am songwriter from Dublin, Ireland who has released 6 full studio albums 3 Eps and has had songs featured on numerous compilation albums and playlists .
The album Hierapolis was a double album perhaps my most expansive and ambitious to date with artwork by Ro Hackett and a compendium book and documentary film, 2 music videos where also made Calculus and Synergy.

The Videos where made by videographer and Film maker Jono Lavery. In fact Synergy made in 2011 might be one of the earlist selfie videos with myself hand holding the camera and lipsyncing while walking through a forest in Ireland. The finished shoot was later edited by Lavery.
The Calculus video also comes with a story on how Ernie Beggs and I came across the derilict factory in located in Howth in Dublin .The setting was ideal for the Distopian futuristic aesthetic of the video concept.
We may go into more detail on the preperation and the actual shoot on the day and the logistics on how to get to the location as indeed it did prove difficult enough to gain access. But needs must when it comes to making great art .
My last album Demographic 3 completes a Trilogy of lo fi demo tape machine recorded albums .
As a Music Producer I have also recorded over 50 albums for other irish artists .
Yet again this is something we may explore in more detail as the pages on this site expand and grow, indeed I am proud of the productions and contributions on the Albums and Eps of Irish acts such as Rachael Mc Cormack , The Silverstonz , Self Esteem, Understudies.Changing Gears Solar Flux, Renegade Rule and many more .
Other Albums also released in my name are Field Recordings, Demographic 1 and 2 and Woodward and Gittings as well as EPs with Dublin band The Marigolds.
This year 2026 I am working on my 7th full studio album another double record as is my prog rock tendencies,this Album also boasts a documentary film . Just like the Hierapolis album the primary focused is on places ,spaces and time but not so much the future as with the Hierapolis project,but more looking at the past.
To be exact looking closely at Irelands,ancient Heritage in paticular neolithic passage tombs and standing stones,castles aswell as visiting other locations in vatious parts of Europe .
These locations we shall explore more within the pages of this website should you so wish to stay for a while or perhaps revisit it at a later stage .
This website is here to tap into and it is my intention that it will be evolving organicaly with new updates and news and blogs .This website is the HQ if you will of all things related to the work of Irish Musician/Songwriter, Artist and Film Maker your’s truly Paul Woodward .
It could be said that my work has remained mostly under the radar perhaps because i dont perform live much and tend to have a strong adverse reaction to the disingenuous marketing and commercialisation so prevalent in today’s modern music buissness. Despite my goal is to maintain a craftsman like approach and care and attention to detail I hope is prevailent in my music making and lately my music documentary film making.
I strive to innovative and improve as Musician Singer and Writer and Film Maker.
Music is Magic and Wonder and Joy for some people it may be just backround noise,but for others it may Save Lives.
