Richard will be perhaps best known as lead guitarist for the legendary John Otway and legendary rock group ‘Eddie and the Hotrods’, whose ‘Do Anything You Want to Do’ remains an all-time favourite.

Richard still plays with the ‘Rods, and is also a guest and session guitarist, with over 60 performance, composition and video credits on Wikipedia. Richard has recently issued a CD of his own work, ‘Finally…’.  But in addition, Richard was co-owner and major tutor of ‘The Square’ in Harlow, a development centre for new talent, and the starting place for successful acts like George Ezra, Cornershop and Blur….

This event is FREE – but seating is limited, so to confirm your place, please email askelton@efc.ac.uk, and we will confirm back your place – or otherwise! Each speaker has a charity they support, so you will be welcome to leave a donation for that charity on the evening.

The speaker will be on stage promptly at 7.30pm, so please be punctual.  We will serve tea and coffee from 7pm onwards.

The talk will last for around 45 minutes, and will be followed by a Q&A session.  You will then have the opportunity to speak informally with the guest speaker over light refreshments, before the event concludes at 9pm.
