Book Richard

Singers & Musician

Richard is a uniquely talented musician available to perform jazz, soul and popular material as a soloist on piano, vocals, strings, brass and percussion. As well as offering smooth and soulful piano and vocals, Richard uses a loop pedal on stage to seamlessly add vocal, trumpet or violin harmonies and percussion grooves. In this way, depending on your event, he brings an upbeat and impressive edge to the performances.

The songs Richard plays range from traditional jazz and blues standards, ragtime, Rat Pack and pop standards through to contemporary songwriters. Richard is himself a BBC award-winning songwriter. His original songs combine witty, observational lyrics with a strong jazz-soul influence. He is also a trained classical violinist.

Standard Length of Performance:
Richard usually performs between 2-3 hours, but can also perform a shorter showcase performance including live looping and original songwriting where appropriate.
