Paul is currently the Director of the UWE Big Band. Paul began his musical life studying flute with Stanley Gleave (BBC Welsh Symphony Orchestra) in 1972 before gaining a place at Dartington Hall to study flute and composition. Whilst here he developed a keen interest in electronic and experimental music making. Returning to Wales in 1978 he took up a position as an instrumental woodwind tutor and freelance musician. Studying the saxophone led to more diverse playing work. He joined the Welsh Jazz Orchestra during the mid 1980’s performing with many international and UK based jazz musicians including Lew Tabakin (Flute/Saxophone), Bobby Shew (Trumpet/Flugal), Pete King (Alto Saxophone) and many others. Freelance work led to tours abroad (United Arab Emirates, Europe and the UK). Other work included television and recording contracts for the BBC, S4C and independent film producers. His own recording facility was created during the late 1980’s and led to composition commissions for BBC 2, S4C and Sky Networks.
Paul has continued in many areas of freelance music including teaching, touring and performing in a career spanning nearly 50 years.
