Testimonials St.Chad's Church, Pattingham - "A Festival of Christmas Trees - December 2007"
We were so pleased that Mike Richards was able to come and play for us during our first Festival of Christmas Trees. For an hour each day he entertained the visitors with a generous helping of classical guitar music, playing requests or pieces of his own choosing. We could not have asked for a more professional approach from a very friendly and talented musician. Chrissie Ringrose
