Paul Sartin was an English vocalist, musician, composer, and arranger who specialized in violin and oboe. He passed away suddenly on September 14, 2022, at the age of 51. Death’s exact reason is still a puzzle.
Paul Sartin was born in 1971, raised in Willesden, London, attended Anson Primary School and Highgate School on a scholarship, and then transferred to the Purcell School for Young Musicians on another Brent music service scholarship.
Paul’s professional playing career began in his teens, with oboe recitals, orchestral concerts, and choral church services, followed by theatrical ensembles for the ENO Baylis Project, The Young Shakespeare Company, and, most famously, Gloria theatre company’s UK and USA tours of Sarasin, directed by Neil Bartlett and featuring original music by Nic Bloomfield.
Sartin spent five years singing as a lay clerk at Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford after graduating from Oxford University. He earned the Licentiate of the Royal Schools of Music diploma during that time. He was subsequently invited to join the band Life Of Reilly, which at the time also featured his future business partner Paul Hutchinson.
However, they parted ways in 1995 to form the band Belshazzar’s Feast. The duo initially played for social dances and ceilidhs, but they developed a concert repertoire and a reputation for musical comedy.
With Tim van Eyken, Benji Kirkpatrick, and Robert Harbron, he founded the musical group Dr. Faustus in 1998, intending to perform English folk music. Before disbanding in 2005, the band created two albums, The First Cut and Wager, and worked with the charities Superact and Live Music Now.
