Paul started his musical career at the Newham Academy of Music and then joined the Royal Marines Bandservice, leaving in 1987 (14 years service) after suffering spinal injury and undergoing surgery. He has played professionally for many years and enjoys playing now, as much, if not more than when he started.
He has performed with many ensembles and in all genres of music suitable for the trombone (and some that aren't at first thought to be so!)
Paul has played as principal and solo trombone with:
The Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines
The Central Band of the Royal British Legion
The Royal Marines Association Concert Band
The London Mozart Players
The Hampshire Constabulary Band
The British Police Symphony Orchestra
The Isle of Wight Symphony Orchestra
The Ministry of Defence Police Band
The Derby Concert Orchestra
The Chesterfield Symphony Orchestra
The Woking Symphony Orchestra
The West Midlands Fire Service Band
The NSK Ransome Band
And others too many to mention.
He is happy to play in any genre, with any ensemble, anywhere (within reason?!)
