I've worked with Richard at Orpheus with bands I've been in and as a solo artist, since 2009. His musical knowledge, musicianship, engineering and production skills, his creative generosity and input, and his patient and friendly nature, makes working with him a real joy, a lot of fun, and very rewarding.

It's a quaint yet functional space with state of the art equipment installed. The only down side is that the place is really out of the way and hard to find.

Richard gives a professional service at very reasonable prices, and is a creative multi-instrumentalist whose patient, unflappable presence always gets the best results for me. He is very open to trying new ideas, and often interprets those into something better than I had actually conceived of in the first place! Orpheus will transport you away from the Hades of uncertain results (whether the basic music is any good is up to us as writers, of course :-))...
