Music edit

Paul Heeren was a member of the 1990s band The Times, led by Ed Ball, playing guitar and providing occasional backing vocals. During this period he also guested with Ed Ball bands Conspiracy of Noise and Teenage Filmstars.

Having gained local exposure via the ABC (Australia) with progressive rock band Montage, Heeren moved to London where he worked as a session guitar player, eventually meeting Ed Ball when brought in to guest on 'E For Edward'. He continued to be involved with The Times throughout the 90s, performing with an unplugged version of band for the 1994 Creation Records 10th Anniversary concert at the Albert Hall. He also appeared with the Times on Gary Crowley's ITV music show 'The Beat'.

Heeren provided the solos for several songs on earlier albums, with comprehensive guitar contributions to 'The Times At The Astradome' and 'Alternative Commercial Crossover' albums. The single 'Lundi Bleu', a cover of New Order's 'Blue Monday', was a Radio 1 Single of the Week on its release, featuring his 'Dive Bomb' guitar.

Heeren provided Power chords on the recording of the United Kingdom's entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 1990 'Give a Little Love Back to the World' by Emma.

Also a songwriter, Heeren wrote the 1991 Highlander II film theme 'Trust',[1] released on WEA, performed by Heeren Stevens, which included powerhouse rock vocalist Jan Parker[2] (formerly Stevens), Gary Wallis (Pink Floyd) on drums, Nigel Ross-Scott (Re-flex) on bass and Adrian Lee (Mike + The Mechanics) on keyboards and acting as producer.

This was followed by the 1996 German release of the GAIA album 'Truth and Illusion'[3] on Koch Records with Jan Parker on vocals, and featuring performances from Steve_Alexander_(drummer) and Jamie Lane on drums. The singles 'Moment of Truth' and 'Wonderland' were taken from the album.
