For Richard Earnshaw, music is a passion, a joy, a fundamental necessity of life . “ ..it is a privilege, humbling to know that by creating and performing music, you're telling a story, letting people into your life, providing an insight into the way you tick, an emotional connection, escapism from every day toil, where people can immerse themselves in music, in song and forget all demands of life, even if only for a short time.. ”
