People say:
I have worked with Richard many times when I have provided music for special and poignant services. Richard’s organisation is second to none and he has a very approachable and friendly character.
Richard is incredibly good with words - both when wanting to create a thoughtful moment and equally when a humorous touch is just the tonic.
