For the bassist of the band
Slipknot, see Paul Gray (Slipknot).
Paul Gray (born August 1, 1958 at Rochford, Essex, England) was the
bassist
for the punk
rock band The Damned. He was recruited
from Eddie and The Hot Rods in
early 1980 to replace Algy Ward on bass. Gray
contributed to two albums, The Black Album
and Strawberries,
but abruptly left the band in February 1983 due to discontent and the
desire to do something "different". After The
Damned he joined UFO and remained until their
split in 1987. He also played with Johnny
Thunders in the 1980s.
Gray is now heavily involved with Community Music Wales, a
charity aimed at nurturing and helping young bands and is based in Cardiff. He
occasionally guests with The Damned on stage when they appear in the
Welsh city.
