There are two artists named Mudd on this artists page. The first: From his early days breaking on the mean streets of Hertfordshire, through his introduction to house music in the late 80s and his involvement with UK nu-house pioneers Akwaaba, Paul has always lived and breathed music. Growing up in St.Albans, Paul was initially enthused, like so many of his generation, by the twin delights of the early hip hop sounds emanating from New York and the reckless pleasure of BMX. Joining him in these youthful pursuits were good friends Tom Lee & Steve 'Fela' Kotey. As the 80s...

The PUDDLE JUMPERS' sound is created from complex, smoothly-blended four-part vocal harmonies and an unusual mix of instruments, including an octave-mandolin, electric and acoustic guitars and Hammond organ. .

After 25 Years largely lost in the mist, and with their 1986 – 93 Flying Nun Records catalogue long out of print, The Puddle finally re-emerged in 2006 from more than a decade of sporadic live performances and occasional lost album recordings. Rumours that founder and core member George D. Henderson had “done a Syd Barrett” proved to be unfounded.
