Paul  is  vastly  experienced  in  the  field  of  cabaret and  grew  up  singing  with  his  father  in  the  North West  clubs  before forming  his  own  soul  band  at  the  age  of  18. He  has enjoyed  performing  on
P & O Cruises,  including their flag ship, the Oriana, and performing  his  own  cabaret  act  on  board  on  several  occasions.
 

Paul  lives  with  Sarah  and  their  three  young  children  in  Berkshire  and  is  greatly  looking  forward  to  renewing  old friendships,  and  making  new  ones,  at  TOpS  during  the  rehearsals  for  GODSPELL.
