Paul Stacey is a British guitarist and producer, best known for his work with Oasis and The Black Crowes. He was announced as the co-producer/engineer of Steven Wilson's fifth studio album in an Instagram post on 5 January 2017, spotted briefly at the end of a video clip for the song 'Pariah'.
Paul Stacey's early work included the 1990s band, The Lemon Trees (with twin brother Jeremy Stacey on drums, Guy Chambers and others) and Denzil.
On 29 September 2006, Stacey was named as the replacement for Marc Ford in The Black Crowes, only a day after Ford faxed the band his resignation and two days before the band's fall tour was set to begin. Previous to this announcement Stacey had worked with The Black Crowes by remastering the band's album The Lost Crowes. Stacey toured with The Black Crowes through the end of 2006 and is credited as a co-producer (with the rest of the band), for the Crowes' 2008 release Warpaint.
He has also worked with Chris Robinson (producing and co-writing), the Finn Brothers, Claire Martin (guitar, keys and bass on Take My Heart, 1999), The Syn (guitar, co-writing and co-production on Syndestructible, 2005), Elkie Brooks (On stage and her 1989 album Inspiration), Minuteman (guitar, production and mixing on Resigned to Life, 2002), Black Car and The Kooks (single version of 'Eddies gun' 2005). He has also worked with Lucio Battisti in La Sposa Occidentale, 1990, and with Patricia Kaas on her album Je te dis vous (1993), recorded at the Eel Pie Studios in Twickenham.
The Stacey brothers played on the 'praise and blame' - tour of Tom Jones in November 2010.
In 2011 Stacey musically directed the play Backbeat at the Duke of York's Theatre, London.
