For the last ten years Paul has toured extensively, giving recitals, classes and performing concerti in America, Europe, Canada, Australasia, the Middle East and the Far East.
Paul has also co-written and performed on cross-over projects with Neil Percy, principal percussionist with the LSO. Their disc, Ball and Biscuit, was released in 1999 on the Black Box label. Their latest disc, Cuvée Acoustique was released in May 2006 and a playalong version for one or two flutes (Flute Fusions) was published by Kevin Mayhew in January 2007, giving flautists the opportunity to experience different styles and rhythms from around the world.
Paul has also edited several books of music entitled The Flautist's Collection and has completed editing and recording the complete Flute Sonatas of JS Bach and Handel (consisting of score, parts and CD with complete performance and playalong version), the Telemann Fantasias, the two unaccompanied Partitas by JS and CPE Bach and the Canonic Sonatas and Sonatas for two flutes by Telemann. He is currently working on editions of the complete flute works of the hitherto uncelebrated Giuseppe Rabboni.
In June 2007 his latest book, The 28 Day Warm up Book for all flautists… eventually! was published. This 150-page volume with four sections on sonority, fingers, articulation and intervals is entirely original and in a logical and musical way helps to address and solve numerous playing related issues. It is now in its second edition. Paul is also a director of The Champagne Guild, a company devoted to introducing previously unavailable Champagnes into the United Kingdom.
As of 22 September 2005, he took up the position of Joint Principal Flute with the Philharmonia Orchestra.
Paul is the special guest at the 2010 South West Flute Festival taking place on 27 and 28 February, and will be conducting masterclasses, workshops and ensemble sessions as well as performing a recital with Tim Carey.
The Philharmonia's Principal Flute's Chair is endowed by Mrs Elizabeth Meyer.
