This track was released on the 2013 Starship Christmas Album.   \nHe has been the technical co-ordinator and audio engineer for recording the live concerts at the  TCGSS since its inception in 2012.  \nIn 2004\, Paul completed his Bachelor Music in Classical Guitar Performance at Massey University  (now NZSM) in Wellington under guidance of Matthew Marshall and Gunter Herbig.

For the past fourteen years I have  been working privately focusing on people with dyslexia and related learning  issues. For the past nine of those years I have also been assessing people with  learning difficulties.  \nI find my work fascinating and particularly enjoy exploring ways to make learning more accessible  to people who think differently. I encourage people to work with their strengths\, rather than  focusing on their difficulties.
