Scared of Horses
Scared of Horses is Paul Dempseys solo project. SOH seems to date back to early 1997 with occasional live shows but it's hard to say exacty how long SOH has been around. Paul did quite a lot of solo touring as SOH early in early 1998 when Something for Kate were on hiatus. Towards the end of '97 and the start of '98 SOH recorded an album which features all instrumentals by Paul and vocals by guest vocalists. Some guest vocalists include Heinz Reigler (Not From There), Jamie Hutchings (Bluebottle Kiss), Glenn Richards (Augie March), Stephanie Ashworth (Sandpit, who later on joined SFK), etc... The Album was called 'An Empty Flight' and was released on March 30, 1998. The album is no longer printed, but if you can get it then prepare yourself for an interesting experience. The sound is definately Paul, but theres a variety and diversity that Something for Kate have only been able to touch on in the occasional B-Side. Nobody knows whether Scared of Horses will emerge again, however theres no doubt that Paul will be created just as interesting projects long after Something for Kate.
