Hello, I'm Richie,
I have been a professional award winning musician for over 15 years playing all over the world.
I am the founding member of my wedding band Happy Hour and play 100+ weddings and events a year as well as my solo stuff.
Over the years i have built up a great collection of guitars and amps as well as building my own recording studio and deliver a live set with a full rich sound and great lighting as well as songs from the 60's to today's hits.
I use Bose pa systems,Taylor guitars and i am completely self contained including lighting and Dj software
I am fun,professional and reliable and promise a great show,if its a party I will use my backing tracks and party with your guests until last orders, or it may be a low key event and I can just play acoustically and blend into the surroundings…Whatever your needs I can accommodate.
I will DJ your event as well as play live so there is music all night!, This coupled with my live music sets really covers everything you need for your event!
Thanks for checking out my site!

We booked the DJ and Photo Mirror package for our Mum's 50th Birthday party and I can't tell you enough how pleased we were with the service! Richie was very professional and a lovely guy, who stayed in contact throughout the duration of the party prep. Arrived on time and was a big hit with all of the guests, happily playing any requests. Everyone loved the photo mirror too (Rob was very friendly and encouraged people to use it!) We loved the photo album that came with it.
If in any doubt, book with Richie, you wont be disappointed! 😁
Thank you so much for Saturday afternoon Richie, the birthday bbq was a great success all thanks to you. Everyone has said how engaging you were and you made the day!
Richie was so much fun, turned up early and had a drink with us and relaxed us immediately, full dance floor all night long!
