Richard Digance is a Gold Award Recipient from The British Academy of Composers & Songwriters for services to comedy writing. His TV career spanned 17 years, along with his own BBC Radio 2 series for 7 years. He performs in concert and composes film and TV soundtracks.
On his own ITV TV show in the 1980s and 90s he played a guitar duet with Queen's Brian May as well as joining Status Quo and The Moody Blues for cameo appearances. Richard has also supported Steve Martin in The USA and both the late comedy genius Robin Williams and Roy Orbison at The London Palladium. He has also appeared on Channel 4s Countdown 194 times.
After 60 years on the road Richard takes on fewer live performances these days. It's not the shows that have forced this decision, he still loves being on stage, but the driving to venues, the diversions, the road closures, traffic jams and motorway closures after midnight that make touring so difficult these days.
However, he remains as busy as ever with a passion for anything creative, and all Richard does is listed below.

Had there ever been a Nobel Prize for Utter Stupidity Ossie Waterman would have won it hands down, twice. A walking self-destruct button that just wouldn’t lay down, a man who did for space travel what Picasso did for face painting. Could the man who thought The Northern Lights were lampposts in Manchester really head off into space to walk on Venus in a homemade spacecraft? Quite possibly. CLICK HERE
