JOHN RICHARD > vocal entertainer

Already an established musician with Norfolk based duo 'TWICE AS NICE'

At the turn of the century I started my solo act useing the latest latest technology and thirty years of know how ~ Since then the act has been booked all over East Anglia.London and the Midlands. Useing computor back tracks with hundreds of tracks through three different size P.A systems, so I can work any size venue. I also feature harmonica and percussion in the act - and always strike up a good rapport with the audience . The act can be booked as a cabaret spot featuring mostly comedy or an 'all-nighter' with dancing, gags and material aimed mainly at a more mature audience, I also use Cockney and WW11, 40s themes

Much of the comedy is based around nostagia and reminiscence, going back to Rock'n'Roll, Radio Luxemborg, the hand jive and such and coupled with the music of the times ~ you won't keep 'em off the dance floor!

or stop 'em laughing

  BEST YOU BOOK ~ JOHN RICHARD ~ AWRITE?!!

After 30 years of entertaining and being a lover of the "older" style of music the logical step was entertainment for care and residential homes, and since 2002 I have entertained at hundreds of different establishments, in four counties with return bookings to many of them

I have a bit of a cheeky act, the music dating from the thirties right up to suitable material of the current age,this mingled wtih some comedy if the folks are up to it,

and a walk down memory lane in some of the program.

My "cockney" sing-a-long act-fully costumed,is always a hit, and I try to

feature songs from all parts of the country.

Also being self-contained with computorised back tracks I take up very little room

and am always very concious of the volume
