History
Paragon was started many years ago, around
1980 and since then has undergone several different musical transformations.
Since we started we have logged numerous hours in the studio and performed
hundreds of gigs.
However, one thing has remained
consistent over the years, the songwriting and musical talents of James
Smith and Chaz. In this page we would like to express our thanks
to previous band members and also show you who they were.
