Paul Connolly

Paul Connolly is the author of The Fifth Voice (2014) and The Enduring Influence of Ken Potts (2019). The Fifth Voice is a poignant and comic story of how the dysfunctional lives of four singers are transformed by the inspirational power of music and friendship. It received glowing reviews, reached the top 10 on Amazon’s literary fiction (humour) best sellers list, and was shortlisted for Independent Book of the Year by Writing Magazine.

DAVID NOBBS (RIP), celebrated television comedy writer and best-selling author of the Reginald Perrin novels and many more, called The Fifth Voice “a funny, touching and charming tale”. And the godfather of modern a cappella music, DEKE SHARON (Pitch Perfect, The Sing Off, The House Jacks), said “It’s a charming story, full of memorable characters… a cappella as a metaphor for life!”

The Enduring Influence of Ken Potts is the much-anticipated sequel to The Fifth Voice. TIM BROOKE-TAYLOR said "Compelling characters painted with extraordinary skill. Thoroughly recommended." MIKE 'FLOWERS' ROBERTS, creator of The Mike Flowers Pops, said "The romance of amateur music-making meets the fickle glamour of Hollywood in a funny and truly endearing story. A brilliant follow-up to The Fifth Voice."

Paul Connolly was born in Liverpool, lives in Berkshire, and escapes to his writing retreat of Lundy Island as often as possible.
