“John is 100% professional, diligent and always on time. He is above all extremely reliable… you never feel your project is left to one side… 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)
“Paul Campbell is a superb musician who produces beautifully-written, creative arrangements and orchestrations. I am always very happy to conduct his works; the scores and parts are always immaculate, free from errors and, best of all, they sound great!”
Neil Thomson (Conductor)
“John, the arrangement was GREAT! Everyone loved it, and there is already talk of using it again… Lovely complex harmonies and great brass effects, as well as the smoochy strings. I had no idea you were so talented at this.”
David Angus (Conductor)
“Thank you so much, Paul! Another amazing job! Thank you so much for all your hard work. It’s always a pleasure to work with you.”
