Paul Wilson
Paul Wilson (born on 20 October 1978) is the bass player in the Northern Ireland-based Indie rock band Snow Patrol. He occasionally sings backup vocals.
Wilson formerly played both guitar and keyboards for Glasgow-based band Terra Diablo. In March 2005 he replaced longtime member and Snow Patrol co-founder Mark McClelland on bass. He played his first official show with the band in Dingle, County Kerry on April 1, 2005. As a multi-instrumentalist, he was considered an integral part of the creative process on Snow Patrol's 2006 album, Eyes Open.
An injury to Wilson's left arm and shoulder forced the band to cancel several of their French and Germany shows in late 2006.
