July 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the passing of our guitar hero – Ian Boulton Smith, and to mark the occasion BIM will be playing a rare gig at the CAMBRIDGE ROCK FESTIVAL on the 31st July. visit www.cambridgerockfestival.co.uk
The band will be more or less the same as the 2006 album launch and re-union gig in Bolton with Paul TJ O’Neill on drums and lead vocals, Dan Collins on raging Lead Guitar, bassist Garry Cutress replace Derek Austin for this one – Derek, unfortunately is not in the best of health. Backing vocals and Sax will again be Pauls daughters Rachael O’Neill and Victoria O’Neill-Neeves on vocal and sax.
We are really looking forward to getting to the stage and rocking in memory of Ian.

Days In Glass Cages
Monday, May 11, 2026 | pauladmin | | |
A new album released today – 12th May 2026 – released on all major digital platforms and available from www.paultjoneill.com store
This is Pauls second “Storical” a musical without the usual script, and not produced on stage. It tells the story of a research biologist – Phillip Markham and his assistant Beverley, who are working together trying to discover if insects of all types, actually communicate with each other – they just need to prove it.
They collect samples from the garden and keep them in a fish tank – the Glass Cage. The action then moves from the laboratory – into the world of the insects and we meet – Eldon – the common earwig – full of common sense, Damion the snooty common cockroach who hates the fact he is known as ‘common’ and Aaron and Elytra – the Cardinal beetles who are among the most intelligent of the insect world. They each try teaching the insects to work together – to escape from this glass prison – so they no longer need to spend their “Days In Glass Cages”
