Richard Lawrence

		Richard has performed since the age of 7. He studied music formally into his twenties, and has since developed a witty and gentle improvisatory style. The aim is to create a warm and relaxed environment for the surrounding festivities, rather than dominate through virtuosic display.
		He now specialises in providing mood music for receptions, fund-raising events and special occasions.
		This is an entertainer who delights in sharing his love of the masters of melody from the thirties and forties. The repertoire he draws from covers Gershwin, Richard Rodgers and Jerome Kern and other songwriters from the same era.
		Latest gigs include
		Riverside Arts Festival- Sunbury on Thames
		Numerous Weddings in 2002
		Many Private Parties (ranging from 20 to 150 invited)
		Autumn Leaves                       Love is Here                       Someone to watch                       The Song is for You                       Georgia on my mind                       You'll never know                       Bewitched                       My funny Valentine                       I Remember You
		Hey there, I have emailed Richard directly to let him know this, but wanted to also let you know that we were very happy with his performance at our recent wedding. Richard was talented, professional, co-operative and friendly in all respects, and his music created exactly the atmosphere we were looking for. I'd definitely recommend him in the future!
