"Ruby, with you the songs are just half the story: because you also have this most wonderful voice.."
Michael Brothwell, North Yorkshire Folk Programme
March 7th 2007 from 'Ruby on radio'

"She puts her heart and soul into her music and lives out the part of each song she puts her versatile voice to. She sings sensitively, powerfully and expressively, using her voice in an amazing range of ways. She seems to feel the essence of each song she sings and transmits this superbly to the listener."
Cath Sykes, Tykes News reviewing 'Cry for The Ladybird'

YORK singer-songwriter Ruby Paul reached the finals of the 2006 UK Song Writing competition with her composition, Something Strong.
"It?s the premier British Song Writing Competition of its kind, so I?m absolutely thrilled to get recognition for my writing after quite a few years of grafting away," says Ruby. The competition was open to professional and amateur songwriters alike and Ruby's song reached the finals of the Folk and Country category, beating more than 4000 contestants.www.songwritingcontest.co.uk
"The idea for the song came to me, in the kitchen, peeling vegetables? the old saying, 'something old, something new' kept going round in my head and then I got the next line, 'tie the knot forever true,' and I was already singing it to a tune in my head." To conclude the song, Ruby wanted another 'something.' It had to tie all the other 'somethings' together and give the song a unique meaning. She came up with 'Something Strong' Charles Hutchinson
