Sashaying his way through the great works of Sammy Cahn, Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer, Cy Coleman and other classics from The Great American Songbook, Paul possesses a rare quality in his vocal versatility, which enables him to effortlessly drift into other musical genres.

After gaining a BA honours in Performing Arts and participating in a number of stage productions from the age of 14, his singing voice came to the attention of a successful UK theatre promoter who eagerly invited him to audition for a touring big band show. A testament to his incredible voice, not only did he get the job, but he was asked to start that night – without a rehearsal – thus landing his first full-blown big band performance in front of a packed house.

Since then, he has played some of the biggest venues the country has to offer- to critical acclaim. Paul can count Sir Alex Ferguson and Philomena Lynott, mother of Thin Lizzy rock legend Phil Lynott, amongst his many celebrity fans. Whether he is performing with his four-piece, seven-piece or big band ensemble, Paul offers his own innovative takes on modern material, making him a perfect choice for your event. Paul is popular for wedding entertainment and corporate events and has gained a reputation as one of the most refreshing and talented entertainers available to book today.
