==Biography==
Paul Edwards was brought up in the village of Turvey in Bedfordshire and educated at St Paul’s Choir School and Bedford Modern School.〔〔"School of the Black And Red", by Andrew Underwood (1981); reset and updated by Peter Boon, Paul Middleton and Richard Wildman (2010)〕 He was a chorister at St Paul’s Cathedral for four and a half years and then spent an equal amount of time as lay clerk at Peterborough Cathedral. He has served as organist and choir master at several churches in Bedfordshire, including All Saints, Turvey and St. Paul's Church, Bedford. He is also active as a teacher, piano accompanist and choral singer.〔God be in my head – Choral works by Paul Edwards REGCD339〕
Edwards has made a series of recordings of the historic organs of North Bedfordshire. He has transcribed and edited ten volumes of 18th century ''English Organ Music'' published by ANIMUS. The opus numbers of his compositions rise to almost 450. They include about 150 hymn tunes and a large number of anthems. Many of these works have been published in collections including ''Hymns for Today’s Church'', ''Psalms for Today'' and ''Carols for Today''. His carol ''No Small Wonder'', written in 1983 to words by Paul Wigmore, first appeared in ''Carols for Today'' in 1986 and was recorded on LP by Canterbury Cathedral Choir and subsequently heard in the famous Nine Lessons and Carols service broadcast on the BBC Television by the Choir of King's College, Cambridge in 2000.〔No Small Wonder, Music for Christmas and Remembrance by Paul Edwards; The Concord Singers, 2001, LAMM 139D〕 His music has been recorded on several CDs.
Edwards finds inspiration for his compositions in the English countryside, in particular that of Norfolk 〔Charlotte Fone in interview with Paul Edwards in Two Countries: One Heart. A collection of essays about Slovak and British music; BHS, Bedford Charity, 2005〕 He also enjoys driving and photographing buses and coaches.
