Arrived in London from Norwich with Band ‘I Man and the Shapes’ after signing to Molenaire Studios. He was also manager of Pippins vegetarian restaurant in Hampstead.

Prior to this Pablo was living in Norwich attending art school and playing with various small bands in local clubs and pubs. From leaving school at fifteen he had been working as a truckers mate and removal porter spending the first four years of his life on the road between the UK and Europe something that maybe prepared him for touring with bands for what must be recognised as a longer career than most session musicians playing with different bands.
