PAUL DRAPER RETURNS WITH NEW ALBUM MANSUN RETOLD

‘Mansun Retold ‘ sees Paul Draper revisit and reimagine some of the most iconic songs from Mansun’s catalogue, rebuilding them from the ground up as new full band acoustic unplugged versions. Today, he has shared his album with the world.

In the late ‘90s, Mansun carved out their own corner of British music with albums like Attack of the Grey Lantern (a UK No.1), Six, and Little Kix - works that built a loyal following with Draper at the heart of the chaos. Nearly three decades later, he’s revisiting that world and meeting his younger self across the years. 

Recorded at The Loft Studios in Surrey, Draper co-produced the album with Paul “PDub” Walton, the recordings feature a string quartet arranged and led by Audrey Riley, with drums performed by Julian Fenton, Mansun’s own drummer in their early days.

In Spring 2026 Paul Draper will tour the UK, playing all Mansun’s Top 40 singles including 5 Top Ten’s with his full electric band at a series of prestigious venues.
