Her string quartet, trio and duo perform regularly for corporate functions and weddings and as a soloist she has recorded with Bonner Tiler, Richard Hawley and Alex Jones as well as performing in front of Prince (now King) Charles and the late Queen Elizabeth. As a soloist, Gaynor performs any genre and can take any request, as her experience ranges from folk, classical, jazz, pop, world music to swing etc. For many years, Gaynor was the promoter of the Knowle Green lunch-time concerts.

He is Principal of the Blackburn School of Music and teaches piano at Stonyhurst College. Paul is a sought after accompanist and recent exam successes include DipABRSM in clarinet and ATCL in singing and cello.

He plays for many local orchestras and choral societies in Lancashire, North Yorkshire and Greater Manchester including principal cello for the Promenade Concert Orchestra and Settle Orchestral Society as well as principal double bass for the Piccadilly Symphony Orchestra.
