Richard Shelton

Following his performance alongside Dame Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones at Sir Elton Johns ‘White Tie and Tiara Ball’, Richard has been asked to sing for the Elton John Aids Foundation charity lunch at the Kensington Roof Gardens in London on December 2nd.

Another exciting diary date was being asked to sing for HRH Prince of Wales at Windsor Castle with a 35-piece orchestra when Richard sang the Klaus Ogerman arrangement of ‘The Girl from Ipanema’ and ‘Top Hat, White Tie and Tails’.

Plans are well underway for Richard’s second album ‘The Very Thought of You’. With an eys on the theme of love - including its highs and its pitfalls - Richard is returning to his crooning roots and has selected some wonderful standards including ‘The Shadow of your Smile’, ‘Smoke Gets in your Eyes’, and ‘This Guys in Love with You’. Original songs includes Richard’s own bossa-nova influenced ‘Flying Home to You’ and original songs ‘A House on Primrose Hill’ and ‘Little Black Dress’ by Martin Newell. Recording is due to take place in Spring 2008 with an autumn release.
