He hasn’t looked back since his first outing of movies and lunch, meeting so many friends and enjoying the extensive range of activities offered by Interchange Australia. A highlight on Paul’s calendar is the regular monthly themed dinner groups at the Mittagong RSL. He cheekily recounted that one of his favourite Saturday activity memories was visiting Madame Tussaud’s in Sydney and talking to President Barack Obama in the Oval Office!
Paul is one of our talented performers, playing the keyboard in The Hidden Wonders band and acting in the Stage Fright Players drama group. A memorable highlight in Paul’s acting career was his performance as Colonel Mustard in “I Haven’t Got a Cluedo..YET,” dedicated to the memory of his beloved mother, Maura. Paul said that his rehearsals and performances with the Hidden Wonders and Stage Fright Players are so important to his life because “he doesn’t feel like he is in a wheelchair or that he has a disability.”
Paul is one of our most eager participants in our music program, regularly contributing to the RockCan Hour on 92.5FM Youth Radio on Monday nights and performing with The Hidden Wonders at their many gigs throughout the year, including RockCan. Paul began playing the keyboard over five years ago and practices at home, in addition to attending band rehearsals. Paul’s most memorable RockCan moment was the bands rendition of AC/DC’s iconic song ‘TNT’ at RockCan last year.
Congratulations Paul on pursuing your passions and for achieving so much, both musically and theatrically. We all look forward to seeing you perform in the future.
You can catch Paul and The Hidden Wonders performing at RockCan on Saturday, October 20 at Mittagong RSL Club. Please visit the RockCan facebook page for full details: www.facebook.com/RockCanAustralia.
