A voice-led, live-looping performance where songs are built in real time — open, human, and joyfully inclusive.

Paolo Morena’s The Third Man creates live music from nothing. Voice, instruments, classical textures and electronic rhythms are layered openly on stage, transforming the act of performance into a shared moment of creation.

Rather than arriving with finished tracks, each set unfolds in front of you. Sounds grow, shift, and connect in real time, inviting the audience into the process itself — replacing distance with warmth, curiosity, and collective energy.

Blending songwriting, classical musicianship and DJ culture, The Third Man dissolves genre boundaries and removes any rules about how to listen. There’s no specialist knowledge required — just an invitation to be present.

Each performance is unique, shaped by the room and the people in it. The result is a joyful, welcoming live experience grounded in human connection, leaving audiences feeling uplifted, connected, and part of something shared.

Onstage, Paolo Morena's only companion is the prospect of imminent technical catastrophe... but his chaotic live show is a thrilling triumph

While he’s most effectively described as a ‘21st-century one-man band’, the first thing you have to understand about Paolo Morena is that he’s not a one-man band. There’s no bass drum strapped to his back nor cymbals clamped between his knees. Paolo’s a master of numerous musical disciplines and the possessor of a broadly-ranging voice that, as emotion strikes (which is often) suggests Jeff Buckley, but he also wrangles loops in a similarly compelling style to a professional spinner of plates.

Human beatboxes have been known to utilise similar methods, but it’s rarely attempted - especially on such an ambitious scale - with conventional instrumentation, because it’s bloody hard. Bloody hard to the point of being virtually impossible, in fact. No Alberton, no MIDI, just a click, two loop pedals, a load of instruments, and a microphone.

If you thought you'd seen and heard it all music-wise, you’d better prepare for TheMightySmall: a one-man band for the 21st Century.

The music grabs you from the very first breath and takes you on an emotional journey of soulful melodies and classic rock...
