Paul was a Musical Director at the National Theatre and the RSC, and has performed with Sir Peter Maxwell Davis, BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, Johnny Dankworth, Lulu, Tony Hatch, John Williams, and Nancy Wilson. He has also performed in major concert venues around the world such as the Royal Festival Hall, Berlin Concert Hall, Royal Albert Hall, Ronnie Scott’s, and The Stables, as well as Cadogan Hall’s Culford Room.
