Paul Campion - toastmaster and music lover

As a man with several different careers and a variety of enthusiasms keeping him busy, it's not surprising that Paul Campion offers a wide range of lectures! A love of music is central to his life, and his books about Kathleen Ferrier and Glyndebourne Festival Opera have won international recognition.

As an East Ender by adoption, Paul lives by the fast-growing 2012 Olympic Games development area; he never misses an opportunity to attend the annual Proms season at the Royal Albert Hall and enjoys visiting Covent Garden and ENO for their spectacular productions. His love of fine singing drew him years ago to the art of Maria Callas.

Always keen to try a chancy challenge, Paul has appeared on radio and TV quiz shows, among them Mastermind, Counterpoint, Brain of Britain and $64,000 Question; his lecture about these experiences reveals hidden tales from the other side of the cameras and mics!

Most recently Paul has added the career of Toastmaster to his professional expertise; he is often to be seen at top west end hotels, working with celebrated entertainers, sports personalities and politicians at charity and corporate events, receptions and presentations. Dressing up and looking the part for such functions is only the start…!

Says Paul: 'I get a real buzz from all that I do, and want to share that with everyone who'd like to listen!'
