Pablo - rhythm / lead guitar & backing vocals

Paul "Pablo" Pampin - Pablo plays lead and rhythm guitar and sings a bit too.  Pablo is now one of the longest standing members of JAK THE LAD, along with founder member, our esteemed drummer "Tex". Pablo is half-Spanish (hence the exotic nickname) which means he likes to take long lunch breaks. He is also the quiet man of the band, but as a player he has mojo (and blackjacks, humbugs, sherbet dips, fruit salads, fizz-bombs and liqourice allsorts).

When he is not playing with JAK THE LAD, Pablo is an electronics engineer.  Paul is married to Clare, his very own strict headmistress.  They have one son, who JAK THE LAD are hoping will one day replace his Dad on guitar, being younger and better looking than his dear old Dad!

Pablo lists his influences as: David Gilmour, Eric Clapton, Eric Sykes, Eric The Viking, Eric Cantona, Eric & Ernie and Ginsters Pasties.
