Paul has worked with The Joy Formidable on previous works, but Paul heard through a mysterious grapevine that the band wanted Paul Draper to sing on Greyhounds in the Slips. According to an interview between Ritzy and an online magazine called Dots & Dashes[1]

He generously agreed and the first seeds of a happy friendship were sewn. He'll be joining us for the first time live at London's KOKO on October 14 and he will not disappoint you. He's an amazing talent and we're delighted to see him on the stage once again.
