He worked on many musical projects and in 2017 made new arrangements for a production of Peter Bellamy’s folk opera The Transports, which toured the country to critical acclaim, leading to a Radio 3 broadcast and a CD the following year. He was much admired by fellow musicians: Bryony Griffith described him as “musically intelligent, inventive, reliable and fun”. Remnant King gigs were also notable for singing sessions organised after the show, either within the venues or at nearby pubs. This saw the band congregate around a table with various audience members, all singing folk songs unaccompanied. The idea was later developed with Bellowhead with the band engaging in regular after show sessions on their tours. Boden discussed the importance of these events in this key-note speech for the English Folk Expo in 2014.

Paul’s early orchestral and choral work were crucial in defining his approach to folk music: he brought his musical training to his folk music arrangements and had a preference for performing with others in bands rather than as a solo performer. In addition he led a regular choir workshop at the Sidmouth festival and edited a collection of folk songs in Faber’s community choir series. In 2022 Boden arranged and performed orchestral versions of six songs from the Floodplain trilogy of albums, with the Hallam Sinfonia. Kingslayerisa Traitin Remnant: From the Ashes.

At the start of 2013, Boden was commissioned by Jonathan Reekie, the musical director of Aldeburgh Music to create the show based on Benjamin Britten's The Ballad Of Little Musgrave And Lady Barnard. It was part of a wider global programme of events to celebrate Britten's centenary. The resulting piece used Britten's setting of the ballad for male voice choir, interspersed with five ‘interpolations’ composed by Boden, with lyrics co-written by him and Mary Hampton. The soloists were Mary Hampton, Tim van Eyken, Rob Harbron, James Findlay and The Peterborough Male Voice Choir. The production was directed by David Edwards and was staged at Snape Maltings Aldeburgh, Peterborough Cathedral and The Sage, Gateshead. 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. Paul also worked as a vocal tutor at St Edward’s school, Oxford, and in 2000 became a deputy lay clerk in Winchester Cathedral choir.
