“As a Musical Director and arranger there are often never enough hours in the day to take on the full workload of being at meetings, attending rehearsals as well as doing all arrangements, orchestrations and music preparation. It is not always easy to find someone that you can trust to alleviate the workload and do things the way you would want to do them. In Paul Campbell I have unearthed a real gem, who has been an immense help to me over the last few years. He is someone who I have total faith in to do the job I require, whatever the criteria, whatever the orchestration all within the given timescales. I cannot enthuse enough about his attention to detail and how thrilled I am with everything he has done for me, which has included some very diverse musical styles. Add into the equation he is a most delightful person to deal with and my only worry is that by giving him my ringing endorsement that he will become so busy that he will no longer be available to do all I need him to do in the future!!!”
Barry Robinson (Musical Director/Arranger, Director of BR Music Productions)

“John has always responded to our requests immediately and with great success. He is always willing and able to help, with his inimitable friendly manner he is a pleasure to deal with. May our working relationship continue and I wish him all possible success in the future.”
Carl Davis (Composer/Conductor/Arranger)

“I have collaborated with John Langley for the last 14 years. I can only praise in the highest possible terms all the work John has undertaken for me during this time. He is 100% professional, diligent and always on time. He is above all extremely reliable on all matters relating to the project and you never feel your project is left to one side, like I have felt with others in his profession. That is what I believe marks John above the rest – his ability to realise your ideas quickly and without fuss, his reliability and his true attention to clients’ needs which is a testament to the many regular clients he has retained over the years.”
Karel Mark Chichon, Hon ARAM (Chief Conductor, SWR Deutsche Radio Philharmonie & Latvian National Symphony Orchestra)

John Wilson (Conductor, Producer, Arranger)

“Paul's orchestration of my ‘Seven Planets and a Cosmic Rock’ is marvellously inventive. He used the full range of orchestral palette to transform the piano score while respecting the original concept. His technical mastery was evident in the resulting performances by the LSO, Northern Sinfonia and the Orchestra of Scottish Opera. I particularly appreciated the regular communication we had at all stages of the collaboration.”
