Accomplished musician, Richard Digance will be taking to the stage at The McMillan Theatre, Bridgwater on Thursday 13 October, 8pm.

He is rated by many as one of Britain’s greatest acoustic guitarists, inspired by his good friend Ralph McTell, and an entertainer who many younger comedians, including Ross Noble, claim as one of their major influences.

His evergreen career, including supporting American comedians Steve Martin and Robin Williams, has been acknowledged through numerous awards within both the music and entertainment industries, from a BAFTA Nomination as a TV entertainer, to a Gold Award from The British Academy of Composers and Songwriters. He is included in The Virgin Anthology of Songwriters for his important contribution to British comedy songwriting.

Richard Digance is also a world-acclaimed poet, an author and an artist. His poetry is published around the world: The University of British Columbia, Canadian syllabus for English; Fearndon Teaching Aids, Illinois, USA; The Oxford University Anthology of Poetry, The West Indies Schools syllabus, and more recently in Australia and in Cape Town South Africa as part of English First Additional Language Grade 8 Reader.

On his own ITV Saturday-night show Richard has played guitar with Queen’s Brian May, The Moody Blues, Status Quo, Chris de Burgh, Juan Martin, Marc Cohn and Elkie Brooks.
