''Paul first sang opera at the age of 28 for a [[karaoke]] competition– he dressed up as [[Luciano Pavarotti]]. He went on to perform in Barrymore’s ‘My Kind Of Music’ (1999). The money he won from the show (£8000) along with his savings was spent on attending various training courses in Italy. From his Italian opera class he was selected to sing in master class’ for Pavarotti and Katia Ricciarelli – who he says were very impressed. Paul reckons he’s spent £20,000 in total to get to where he is today. Paul has performed in 4 semi professional operas in the UK and some concerts. His proudest performance was with the philharmonic orchestra in a concert in front of 15, 000 people.'' | ''Paul first sang opera at the age of 28 for a [[karaoke]] competition– he dressed up as [[Luciano Pavarotti]].
