Sky Patterns is a musical project by Cheshire-based musician Paul Lockett.

Paul originally began writing songs way back in the nineties, and for a time performed in several bands. Roll forward to years later, and Paul was working with a friend who asked if he makes New Year's Resolutions & how about one for each month? Paul decided that his January resolution should be to perform solo at an open-mic evening, as he'd previously only ever worked in bands. This proved to reignite his love of performing live music and Paul has since been a regular on the open-mic circuit, particularly during the past few years or so.

The idea of recording some of his new songs began after several people initially encouraged him to do so. Paul decided that if he had four songs that he was happy with, he'd look to do just this. Paul then went on to write a bunch of new material that exceeded his four song target, plus, he was invited to play at a small outdoor festival, where the crowd was really enthusiastic. Suddenly, the idea of an album began to take shape.

Sky Patterns' debut album 'Answers On A Postcard', released in March 2025, brings together this set of songs, mainly written during the second-half of 2024. Some of the songs touch on reflective childhood memories, while others reference the ocean, the sky, and countryside. Musically, the sound leans towards folk, based around Paul's talent as a guitarist, and some songs touch into elements of both folk rock and even a little pop.
