Nick Paul was born on April 5, 1939 and raised in London, England. Growing up while playing a host of woodwind instruments his influences were George Lewis and John Handy.

Very active during the 60s, 70s and 80s in the south of England, in Europe he also played New Orleans Jazz. Paul played with many bands including The Barry Martin Ragtime Band, Malc Murphy’s Storyville Stompers, Bill Brunskil, The New Iberia Stompers, The New Revival Jazz Band. He spent time in New Orleans listening to the masters and improving his knowledge of the music.

Leaving England in 1987 for sunnier climes, Nick lived aboard his sailing boat Storyville in Cyprus for ten years playing in hotels and clubs. His musical tastes broadened and for the last twelve years he has been playing mainly small group swing and mainstream jazz of the 50s era.

Woodwind master Nick Paul, who now lives in Thailand, is still playing and has established a small recording studio.
