Richard Durrant

Early March saw us at the Theatre by the Lake in Keswick for a guitar recital by Richard Durrant. Andy first came across Richard some years ago when he performed in a little church at Wreay and since then, we have followed his composing and performing career, attending local events whenever we can. A classically trained and highly talented performer (and delightfully down to earth and entertaining raconteur), his recent music has been shaped by South American influences resulting in a trilogy of outstanding albums. Unlike Andy, I’m no musician but even I can appreciate and enjoy Richard’s exceptional talents
