Is Richard Digance still going at 70 years of age? The answer is yes and he’s as powerful and prolific as ever. Despite the demand for his soundtrack and incidental music for TV and film, he’s still doing what he knows and loves best, performing on stage. Nearly 3,000 songs, his 34th album ‘Salisbury,’ a BAFTA Nomination, the sacred Gold Award from The British Academy of Songwriters, millions of YouTube hits, 3 stage plays, 16 books and a mortgage to pay off, Richard embarks on his 2019 Platinum Tour with the same enthusiasm he had when he first toured with Steeleye Span back in 1974. The fun chorus songs are all there, along with the heart-rendering songs about life’s issues, plus the comedic poems that became so popular through his 19 years appearing on Channel 4s Countdown. Richard Digance is a master of his trade and yet no-one is more surprised than Richard himself that he has been getting away with it for so long.
