Paul Rıchards

In the beautiful stetting of St. Maruy de Haura church Shoreham-by-Sea Paul Richards wowed an audience of over 100 people. Forming part for the Adur Arts Live Festival, this was a concert not to be missed. Paul has an amazing technical ability on the guitar performing Recoerdos de la Alhambra, a difficult classical piece, with, subtlety and expressiveness. At the same time his ability as a jazz player is quite extraordinary. Paul explores the latin jazz repertoire with skill and ease. Paul finished his recital with an encore Over the Rainbow, perfectly capturing the atmosphere the audience were looking for. Paul received the ovation at the end of the concert which was well-deserved.

I have heard Paul play at different venues for many years, so when asked to arrange a birthday party for a good friend I asked him to come and play. The event was a great success and consequently I did not hesitate to engage him a second time. I got so many appreciative comments from my friends. As Paul is a superb musician with a very wide repertoire, he was very accommodating to any special requests from the guests. Having heard Paul play both at parties like above and formal concerts I am sure he would also be comfortable to play background music at receptions and similar events.
