Paul Gregory made his London debut at the Wigmore Hall in 1975. Unanimous praise from the national press secured further concerts at the South Bank and a ‘live’ recital for the BBC direct from Broadcasting House. Following his Park Lane Group award for twentieth century music (1976) and his first prize in the Segovia Guitar Competition in Spain (1978), Paul Gregory has enjoyed a career as concert artist touring Asia, America and most of the European continent. He has given master classes at the Royal Academy in Dublin, the Royal Academy in Glasgow, the Boston Conservatory, the Nantes Conservatoire and at many music festivals in America and Europe.
