Richard’s classically trained, smooth and rich baritone voice will lend a touch of class and elegance to many events and occasions. From romantic and intimate ballads, to swinging big band classics, Richard can also wow your guests and bestow an air of sophistication on your event by singing powerful operatic arias. You will find that Richard is one of the most versatile vocalists on the scene today.
A charming and engaging performer, Richard can be as “upfront” or as “background” as you want him to be. Over 20 years of live experience have given him a keen sense of what to sing and when, although he always asks a client to pick their favourites from his repertoire and is happy to discuss song choices for your event.
For wedding breakfasts, cocktail parties, and more intimate gatherings, Richard will sing some of the most beautiful and romantic love songs ever written, and will dedicate songs to all the important attendants.
For evening receptions, birthday parties, anniversary parties, or any events you can think of, Richard performs a selection of jazz standards, big band swing tunes, romantic ballads, and also some more up to date pop songs.
Richard performs using high quality custom backing tracks, but he can perform with a pianist, or with a trio consisting of piano, double bass and drums, or any combination of musicians to suit your requirements and budget.
Below is Richard's current repertoire, he will always try to accommodate requests for special songs, but please understand that is subject to suitability, and to him being able to obtain a good quality backing track for the requested song.

What A Wonderful World
1940's Wartime Swing
2018 will see the 73rd Anniversary of the end of World War II. Of course the war was a sad and horrific scar on the face of our history, but during these turbulent years some brilliant and everlasting music was created. Much of the music was very upbeat with happy and positive lyrics about good times past and good times to come, with the world at war and so much suffering and misery going on, it was no surprise that people didn't want to hear sad and depressing songs!
To celebrate this Anniversary, I have over 90 minutes of music from the 1930’s and 1940’s including hits such as “Chatanooga Choo Choo”, “ Don’t Sit Under The Apple Tree”, “Jeepers Creepers”, “Let Yourself Go” and “Cheek To Cheek”.
If you are planning a War Anniversary celebration or a 1940’s themed event, then it would be my pleasure to sing for your event, don’t hesitate to get in touch and discuss your requirements with me.
