Richards arranges groups of musicians that are selected according
to the specifications of a particular customer. They specialise
in Scottish and American style evenings and although they would
not claim to put on an entire evening of Irish or C+ W music they
have got a small collection of these types of tunes. They also
offer a large collection of English Dance tunes and music such
as those heard in program's like Pride and Prejudice. The lineup
can be as small as two players but always includes Keith on accordion. |
