Paul Saunders is one of UK’s most versatile woodwind multi-instrumentalists starring in most West End shows as clarinettist,
saxophonist and flautist.
He has held his Clarinet Chair on the West End production of Wicked since the show opened.
As the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire’s Multi-Instrumental Consultant, he equips conservatoire students with the best chance of employment in woodwind teaching posts and prepares those who are interested for the rigours of ‘doubling’ on current West End orchestrations.

Flunk! by Paul Saunders is a piece can be played by five flutes with backing brack (fretless bass played by Daf Lewis), with or without the optional Alto Flute. The bass clarinet part is provided here for solely acoustic performances as an alternative to using the backing track.
It is suggested that the flute players perform this work sitting in a traditional semicircle with two speakers behind them at head height. The speakers face the audience and the instrumentalists are carried by the backing. The flute players do not need any microphones.
