Paul continued his academic interest in music, achieving a master’s degree in traditional music at Newcastle University, then becoming a visiting tutor on its folk degree course. He was fascinated to discover that folk songs sung by two of his distant relatives, Marina Russell and Edith Sartin, had been collected in Dorset in the early 20th century: Paul researched and recorded their songs.

Since 2009 Boden has toured regularly with The Remnant Kings. As of 2023 the line-up of the band is Sam Sweeney (drums, fiddle, vocals), Rob Harbron (concertina, fiddle, vocals), Sally Hawkins (oboe, fiddle, vocals), Ben Nichols (bass guitar, double bass, concertina) and M.G. Boulter (guitar, pedal steel, vocals). Boden plays guitar, electric guitar, fiddle, melodeon and concertina and sings lead on all songs. Having worked closely with Boden, Paul was invited to join his band the Remnant Kings in 2009 to perform Boden’s post-apocalyptic song cycle Songs from the Floodplain. In contrast to his national touring, Paul was also deeply involved in community music-making. He led the Andover Museum Loft Singers, a community choir specialising in local folk songs, in Hampshire. There and in other smaller settings, such as the music and song workshops at the Halsway Manor folk centre in Somerset, his kindness, generosity and humour shone through. Design, White.
