Listen to the Band:
3rd August
Frank Renton presents a tribute to leading composer and arranger Goff Richards who wrote some of the most popular and successful music for bands over the last 40 years.
A regular arranger on BBC1's ‘Songs Of Praise’, a proud Cornishman (he got his first break from neighbouring Malcolm Arnold back in the 1960's) and a prolific composer/arranger for ensembles of all sizes, including his own bands and orchestra, Goff's natural instinct was to write accessible music that delighted the ear time after time.
He was a respected conductor and adjudicator and his music, which has an unmistakable sound and freedom, and which is played by bands around the world.
