I'm so sad to hear of Paul's passing. I worked at Paul's Music 1978-1985, and he was a wonderful person to work for - more like friend really to me and my family. Also missed chatting with Paul and Margaret after the shop closed. Thoughts and prayers are with Margaret and the family at this sad time

So sad to hear of Paul's passing. For so many years I would pop into the music shop, and then spend a good hour!! A lovely gentle person. I am so sorry for your loss Margaret. Sincere condolences to you x

Paul will be missed by those who loved him closely, none more than the ever lovely Margaret, and by many more who owe him a great deal. In his quiet and humble way Paul enabled 3 generations of musicians to hone their craft and find the resources they needed. He did so with genuine care and commitment to the local area. He was one of the good guys. Godspeed Paul x. (I wrote about Paul here (https://bit.ly/4c0d6IP)

Very sad to have read this and my condolences to Margaret, family and friends. Met Paul when he opened Paul's Music and was such a nice and gracious person. When you read others comments over the decades he never changed. Played a 'mean' chord and helped so many on their musical journey's. God Bless Paul. RIP
