This guy has a knack of connecting straight to the heart with any style of music from Matt Monro to Dietrich Fischer Dieskau and beyond. Love him!
Tim Mountain, Rita & Mark, Surprise Wedding Serenade, May 2019
We hired Richard & his band for our wedding in August and can't recommend them enough. Richard has a fantastic voice and the performance was faultless! He was brilliant in the run up to the wedding and was so helpful in organising the music choices/timings! Thank you so much for making our day special :)

Richard exceeded all our expectations, and all of our guests enjoyed listening and dancing.
Michelle Lewis, husband’s 50th Birthday Party, August 2017
A huge thank you. Richard was amazing! We absolutely loved him. He was not only charming, his performances were spectacular! So many of my guests had to pinch themselves as they thought they were listening to a recording rather than live entertainment!!!
He really was fantastic. Everything and more we could have wished for. Don’t look any further - if you want a fantastic evening's entertainment - he is your man! We were thinking what else we could celebrate so we could book him again!
We were totally thrilled and will definitely book him again…and again!
Esther O'Reilly-Cain, husband Danny's 50th Birthday Party, July 2017
I felt at ease immediately when I met Richard. I had spoken to him on the phone before the event and he was always helpful and friendly. The event was for my Mother's 90th Birthday and he sat down and spoke to her before the event and communicated with other guests too. He is very approachable and makes everyone feel at ease. Richard's performance was excellent, not only does he have a wonderful voice but he is also very friendly, polite and professional. All of the guests "loved" him and he helped make my Mum's Birthday a truly unforgettable occasion. Thank you Richard!
Christine Davis, Mum's 90th Birthday Party, May 2017
I could drown in that beautiful voice!
Helen Cox, (after hearing my demo!)
Excellent, superb, wonderful. Richard was extremely friendly, polite and courteous to every guest at the party. Thank you for making my dad's 80th so memorable
Helen Barnes, Dad's Surprise 80th Birthday Party, December 2016
Richard was an absolute professional from start to finish – our guests loved his singing, he was very accommodating – his range was perfect for our guests – we have had many emails this morning commenting on how great the evening was especially Richard, I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.
Kate Hilder, Downton Group Christmas Party, December 2016
We had Richard at our wedding on Saturday and he was amazing! All the guests loved him and so did we. Thank you so much! X

Mick (groom’s Grandfather)
Had the pleasure of watching and hearing the pitch perfect voice of Richard last night, and he went the extra mile to rehearse songs not in his list, massive thank you for making my daughter's wedding special.

Michael & Louise, Wedding, August 2016
On the 2nd July, 2016, I had my 70th birthday party. It was to be so special as I had never had such a big party as this. Venue was booked, invitations were ready but I couldn't find the right entertainer! Someone recommended Richard to me and I had the chance to look at Richard's web site and boy, was I hooked! I saw a good looking man singing songs in such a way, that I knew this was the man to entertain me and my special friends. Fingers were crossed when I rang Richard and yes, he was available, so everything booked, invites went out, and I was confidently happy that this was the singer for my party.
There was first class communication between Richard and myself and confirmation of the order of songs were completed a few days before my party.
Richard was charming, friendly and dressed for the occasion. I selected certain songs for dedications and he had carefully selected background music while we ate.
I cannot express strongly enough, how I was so happy and lucky to have booked Richard, the music was a variety and as soon as he started to sing, boy was I his no.1 fan! I know my friends well and as soon as the food was finished, and the songs moved up a beat, the dance floor was alive with dancers. Friends who don't dance, found themselves on the floor, and a friend told me that her husband hadn't danced since they married, but then Richard created such a wonderful environment, everyone wanted to be part do it.
My guests were very impressed and also loved his voice, his manner, his looks, (oops!) And he was very charming and made you feel that you had always known him.
At the end of my party, which came too soon unfortunately, ALL of my guests remarked on how they loved the music and more importantly, could hold a conversation and hear the music at the same time.
Richard, thank you from my heart, for conducting a first class evening, it was a perfect evening, and there is nothing I would have changed, thank you, and you can be sure that we will be seeing you again.
Wendy Empett, 70th Birthday Party, July 2016
He gives me goose bumps! He's got a voice like velvet...

You made a lovely day perfect...!!!
Lovely ladies having a retirement tea party, October 2015
Thank you so much for entertaining our guests at my special birthday.
The venue was booked, and who better to join us but the fabulous Richard Finch-Turner. You are a true professional with a fantastic voice, you also looked very smart and debonair. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed listening to you (young & senior)and are often mentioning you. It was nice that you greeted so many of them and made me feel very special too. I had a great time. We would have no hesitation in recommending you for any occasion.
Richard you are just a relaxed, fab, lovely man, a true pleasure to be in your company and listen to you sing.
Joy, 70th Birthday Party, September 2015
Thank you so much for making Jeanne’s party such a memorable occasion. As always, you sang so many “standards” so well. Can’t beat Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett et al! Your skill as an MC held everything together brilliantly too. Everybody happy!!!!
John & Jeanne, Jeanne's 70th, September 2015
For my 50th birthday, I had an afternoon tea in a delightful venue. I wanted some entertainment, and the venue recommended Richard to me. And what a great recommendation it was! Richard couldn't have been more perfect for the occasion. He was just the right volume level, not too intrusive, and he was charming and funny, he sang perfect songs for my celebration, including a few show stoppers, and he has a beautiful voice! I like a stylish man, and Richard was immaculately dressed, even his socks coordinated with his hankie and tie! I can't recommend him enough.
Carol, 50th Birthday Party, May 2015
A top class act! We first saw Richard sing last year June 2014 at a charity event in Crete. He was fabulous. When my husband said he wanted a party for his 50th with the theme 'Monte Carlo or Bust' straight away we thought of Richard, he'd be perfect and he was. Richard has an amazing voice, great personality and is a show man. He works the crowd perfectly. Many of our guests have commented on how much they enjoyed Richard's sets and would even like to go and see him sing publicly in the future. All in all a great singer/performer and we can't wait to see him perform again.
Rowena & Carl, 50th Birthday Party, March 2015
Richard, you are a bloody legend! Thanks for being amazing...as usual!
Managing Director of Tudor Barn Eltham, (after 2 sold out shows on Valentines Night 2015
Richard, I did not have time to properly thank you. Everyone loved you:) My mum can't stop talking about 'the singer' at her birthday party! Thank you so much for making it such a wonderful and memorable occasion.
Natalia, Mum's 70th Birthday Party, January 2015
Thank you for a perfect evening. A lovely mix of splendid voice, humour and charm. From standards to opera, you were much appreciated by all.
John & Jeanne, Party, July 2014
We were thinking of having something to entertain our wedding guest while we were doing the sometimes lengthy process of signing all the legal documents that are a necessity at weddings. I had heard Richard sing on a few occasions and knew he would be the answer to our dilemma. I must say without a shadow of a doubt we made the right choice. Nearly all our guests (including some of the children) were talking about Richards amazing voice and how beautiful it sounded in the church. I noticed quite a few guests shaking his hand and congratulating him outside the church. For me he changed what would have been a very long and laborious 20 minutes into an entertaining and fulfilling 20 minutes. The only downside for us is that we didn't get to watch it ourselves (only on our wedding video a few weeks later) Richard guided us with our song choices and was happy to answer all my jittery bride questions.
Ben & Teresa, Wedding, June 2013
Heather and myself were absolutely delighted with your performance at our wedding. We had so many lovely comments during the day and afterwards. Your amazing voice, versatility, and charming professional manner, made the day romantic and moving for both of us. Thank you Richard
Mark & Heather, Wedding, August 2013
One of the most emotional moments of my life was hearing you sing at my daughter's wedding
