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.
