He often appeared as duo accompanist with David Mackie in D'Oyly Carte in Concert.
In 1977 he edited Sullivan's "Marmion" Overture, and provided pastiche G&S arrangements for the London season Last Nights. He had gained a BA in German and Linguistics before taking the BMus at Edinburgh where he also took the FLCM in piano performance. He is now working towards a research degree on Franz Lehar.
Since the demise of D'Oyly Carte in 1982 Paul has been teaching piano privately and at Bradford Grammar School.
Only and Accompanist is a fairly recent venture. A cassette of highlights from one performance is in preparation; enquiries for this should be addressed to Paul at 137 Wilmer Road, Bradford, UK.
