Richard - singer and acoustic guitarist

Act fee up to £495

Richard has been playing guitar and singing for over 30+ years and in that time has mastered many musical styles. He performs a wide variety of covers - playing background music in a restaurant, in a pub/bar or at an event/function/party getting people singing along or up and dancing with a bit of Rock 'n' Roll. His particular passion is for Jazz standards, played with exquisite fingerstyle. With a repertoire of over 500 songs from the 1930's up to present day, he can entertain any audience. In the second set he includes a quirky feature using a song request menu, where the audience can request their favourite song.
