Paul Armfield – Between The Covers

Paul Armfield – Between The Covers

Paul Armfield - local artist and owner of Medina Bookshop - presents Between The Covers, a warmly curated collection of songs inspired by books, storytelling, and the written word.

Blending original compositions with carefully chosen covers, the album reflects Armfield’s deep connection to literature and language. Each track draws on the themes, imagery, and emotional resonance of books, creating a record that feels both intimate and thoughtfully assembled.

From interpretations of classics by Willie Dixon and Elvis Costello to lesser-known gems and Armfield’s own compositions, Between The Covers moves effortlessly between folk, blues, and literary pop. There’s a quiet charm throughout - music that feels reflective, characterful, and rooted in a love of storytelling.

Perfect for listeners drawn to narrative songwriting and bookish inspiration, this is a record that sits comfortably between the worlds of music and literature.
