How does a musical instrument shape you as a person? Are good natured taunts about carrying a guitar case and polishing your nails in public character building?

Guitar in hand, the ever genial Richard Durrant, explains how concerts and concertos, sight reading and sessions have punctuated and steered his waking moments for over 50 years. The audience will hear plenty of live music alongside showbiz encounters and studio anecdotes in a talk which outlines a pragmatic strategy for surviving the music business whilst retaining an untainted and profoundly deep love of music. 

“Richard has performed live for our U3A on three occasions and is considered to be amongst the best we have had in each respective year.“

“A look into the life of one of our most respected guitarists. Haunting, memorable melodies and so many tales to delight. what more could an audience possibly want? Please come back again soon.“
