Richard is 15 years old. He was born in Cardiff and is currently a pupil at LLanishen
High School. He began playing the Drum kit whilst at primary school. During this
time he joined the county beginner’s percussion ensemble.
Richard is currently a member of the county Youth Orchestra, High Schools Orchestra
and Advanced Percussion Ensemble. Richard has been greatly influenced and helped
by his county Percussion tutor, Celi Evans, who encouraged him to join BTM, and
his fellow percussionists at BTM, Jordan Williams and Matthew Hardy.
Richard joined BTM at the tender age of 12 and within weeks was playing ‘Journey
To The centre of the Earth’ at the Welsh regionals in the Brangwyn Hall, Swansea.
His confidence and ability has grown and he has just performed his 1st Xylophone
solo, Helter Skelter, at the
band’s annual concert! |
