Paolo Nutini – so what is he up to ?

Paolo Nutini has been out touring Ireland recently and spending time in the studio writing and recording material for his next album.  He’s produced the record himself and he started working on it in February 2008. Paolo and the band have worked in studios in Ireland, Wales and London and there were even some sessions recorded in Los Angeles and New York.

The new record will be out in 2009.

Hot-footing with a helicopter by the sounds of things
