There’s more than one Paul Evans

If you’re not sure exactly which Paul Evans you’re looking for, there’s a not-bad landscape painter (not me), and, confusingly, the other British painter of the same name (not sure if his pictures are the right way up on his website though).

There are two people called Paul Evans that are even more annoying. Firstly, the one who decided to have a hit with a bloody awful song called Hello, This is Joannie when I was about 13. I had to get tough or die at school because of him. The video of this outrage is at the bottom of this page.

Or there’s the Paul Evans who writes for The New Statesman. I used to work for the New Statesman myself some years ago and I’m still slightly associated with some of their projects. As a result, I still get phonecalls from people attacking / thanking me for comments that I didn’t write.

Then there is the ex-Nottingham Forest player that caused a happy bit of confusion for my son as detailed here. There’s a hefty compendium of other people called Paul Evans over here if you’re disappointed with .…the pictured Paul Evans…

… which is me, with Máirtín after a trip to a 3D film.

You can call me Pól Ó hÉimhín if you prefer Irish. I’ve got lots of different web projects in different places, so I thought I’d use this page to keep an index of them.

You can have a look at my Local Democracy blog, the site that I use for my consultancy business – Memeserver Ltd. I do a lot of work in Northern Ireland for the Slugger Consults agency that I’ve established with Mick Fealty of Slugger O’Toole. I’ve blogged heavily at times on the slightly profane Never Trust a Hippy, a site that I describe as my Id-blog and a recycle the odd post from other blogs on my Independent / Livejournal page.

I’m heavily involved in the Political Innovation Camp (PICamp) and The Slugger Awards among other projects.

There’s a lengthy jobs profile over on LinkedIn and you can follow me on Twitter. And this Swedish film was made about me…..
