With considerable help from Greeny member John from New Zealand, we have gathered together the most comprehensive list of magazines that Paul has appeared in - from the smallest news snippet, to the most in-depth interview features.

Naturally, we have many of these magazines and articles online, so where you see a linked date click to read the full article and where we have a scan of the cover of a magazine, the word 'cover' will be linked from here, though, of course, you can also check out the full gallery of all the covers we have scanned .

Now, while this is the best list of Paul's magazine appearances, we know it's not complete. So, if you know of any other magazines that have featured our Paul ... let us know!

Unless indicated otherwise all publications are from the UK.
