A pianist and organist, he has a music degree from Wadham College, Oxford, a postgraduate performance diploma from the Royal Northern College of Music and holds ALCM and ARCO diplomas.

In 1988, he founded Music and the Deaf, a charity to help deaf people enjoy music, which he ran for 27 years. In 2007, he was awarded an OBE for Services to Music and he also holds honorary degrees from the University of Huddersfield and Open University.

For the past 13 years, Paul has been working with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra on their Feel the Music project, visiting many different countries around the world introducing deaf children to orchestral music. In 2023, he was invited to work with the Rundfunk Sinfonieorchester Berlin on a project involving deaf children and adults and in 2024 will work with an ensemble in Malmo on a similar project.

Since May 2015 he has been working freelance as a motivational speaker, signed song performer and workshop leader, and currently runs several signing choirs across the UK.

Paul has signed many musical shows and concerts, and performed with The King’s Singers, Tenebrae, Dunedin Consort, VOCES8, the Royal Liverpool, Royal Philharmonic, Scottish Chamber, Royal Northern Sinfonia and Halle orchestras, with Children’s Classic Concerts and at many festivals, including the Cumnock Tryst and BBC Proms. He is delighted to be returning to the RSNO after joining them last November for James MacMillan’s Christmas Oratorio.

When did you join the RSNO?
I joined the RSNO in June 2024.

Where are you from?
Glasgow.

Where did you study?
I studied at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester for my Undergraduate degree and at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland for my Masters.

What do you enjoy most about being in the RSNO?
A common answer, but it is the people. From the other musicians to members of management and admin, everyone is very welcoming and friendly (particular mention to my crazy colleagues in the 2^nd Violin Section!) That paired with playing great music every week makes it a pretty good place to work!

Tell us your favourite RSNO story/memory so far.
A memory that stands out for me would be performing at the BBC Proms in 2022. It was a special moment for me to be performing to a full Royal Albert Hall at the iconic music festival with the orchestra that I grew up going to watch when I was younger. It was certainly a ‘pinch yourself’ moment.

What do you enjoy doing when you’re not playing with the Orchestra?
I’m a bit of a foodie and love to go try different cuisines/restaurants. Luckily I have people who are more than willing to partake in exploring the world through the stomach!

I also enjoy sports, in particular Formula 1 and Football, although as a fan of Partick Thistle the latter is not always the most relaxing of experiences.

Do you have any hidden talents?
As much as I would like to say yes, I wouldn’t say so. I am relatively handy in the kitchen at least which is always handy.

If you could have dinner with anyone (alive or dead) who would it be, and why?
It would have to be Billy Connolly. The mixture of stories, laughs and life wisdom that he could talk about, I think it would be some evening!

When did you join the RSNO?
September 2024

Where are you from?
Aberdeen, Scotland

Where did you study?
I studied at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, and then at Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London.

What do you enjoy most about being in the RSNO?
No two days are ever the same, there is always a fresh challenge just around the corner.

Tell us your favourite RSNO story/memory so far.
I particularly enjoyed joining the RSNO for its weeklong residency in Salzburg. It’s a beautiful city with a rich history, stunning scenery, and fantastic beer halls. I hope to return many times in the future!

What do you enjoy doing when you’re not playing with the Orchestra?
I love rock climbing, specifically bouldering, which is done without a rope (at safe heights!). If I’m not halfway up a wall, I’m likely to be playing chess, which I discovered a love for a couple of years ago.

Do you have any hidden talents?
The amount of talent is debatable, but I do like to play guitar and sing.

If you could have dinner with anyone (alive or dead) who would it be, and why?
It would have to be David Bowie. I’m a massive fan and I’m sure he would have countless stories to tell.

You’re stranded on a desert island. You’re allowed 3 CDs and 1 book. What would they be, and why?

I’ll limit myself to one Bowie album, which is tough, but I’ll go with ‘Low’.

‘Clutching at Straws’ by Marillion, I take after my dad in being a huge fan.

For something a bit different, ‘Promises’ by Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders, and the London Symphony Orchestra: a fusion of Electronic, Jazz, and Classical which completely blows me away every time I listen.

The book would be a collection of ‘Oor Wullie’ and ‘The Broons’ comic strips. Written in Scots dialect, I used to get one every Christmas and they are always a nice reminder of family and home.
