New 'Live' CD
At last the recording of Paul's penultimate gig at the tyne on 7th December 2008 is now available. 'Live at The Tyne' was recorded and mixed by Trevor Worton at Purple Dawn Recordings and you can get all nostalgic for how they sounded when they were a five peice as opposed to the new four peice.

Lots Of New Songs
Off The Wall now have several new songs which were aired for the first time live on Saturday 21st Feb at the Fellsider in Whickham.
The new songs received a great reception and will be repeated at a gig near you soon.
Pay attention to the song that is currently in the top 20 chart (I beleive that the OTW version is better than the chart version). Let them know what you think.
The new songs are;
Johnny Got A Boom Boom (Imelda May)
All or Nothing (Small Faces)
Roxette (Dr Feelgood)
Movin on (Blues Band)
All Over Now (Rolling Stones)
You Really Got Me (The Kinks)
Lights Out (Dr Feelgood)
Keep On Running (Spencer Davis Group)
Check out where they are next playing and go listen

Off The Wall (Now a four Peice)
The band will continue as a four piece with the remaining members…..
Eric – Lead vocals & harp
Malcolm – Lead & slide guitar (working even harder)
Davy – Bass guitar, Fender (as ever)
Michael – Drums & backing vocals (cow bell perhaps????)
This has been an opportunity for Off The Wall to revise and revamp their existing repertoire without losing the all time favourite songs which give OTW it’s distinctive style and sound.
New songs have been added to the set from artists such as The Blues Brothers, Dr Feelgood, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and The Small Faces. All have been given the authentic OTW treatment.
So…….come along with all your friends and check out
THE NEW ‘OFF THE WALL’.
January 2009
Paul Crozier
Paul was made an offer he simply could not refuse which has meant he has reluctantly left the band to work in Norway.
It was way back in 1996 when Off The Wall were a mere four years old that Paul joined as lead singer and rhythm/lead guitarist.
His dedication and enthusiasm, not just with his singing and guitar playing but with his much appreciated organising and managing in-put will be very sadly missed.
Sunday December 7th at the Tyne was to be Paul’s last gig with OTW and for prosperity we recorded the event, the CD of which will be available at future gigs.
As it happened Paul did manage to squeeze in one final appearance at The Magnesia Bank on Saturday 27th December (did anyone take any photos?).
