Welcome to the Acoustic and Eclectic page, the home for Richards Acoustic and Eclectic radio show and live music nights. He ran his Acoustic And Eclectic radio show on Future Radio from November 2008 to August 2019, and he ran live music nights of the same name from January 2009 until February 2012. In August 2019 he began broadcasting the Eclectic Selection show instead.
The Radio show is broadcast on the Norwich based station Future radio (107.8fm www.futureradio.co.uk ) on alternate Sundays 6-8 pm, and is then podcast. He plays, as the name suggests, a heady mix of Acoustic and Eclectic music from far and wide with occasional interviews and live sessions.

Live wise he put on a wide range of locally based, national and international Artists including Martin Stephenson, Tom Paley, Sloan Wainwright (sister of Loudon),Karen Tweed, Brooks Williams, Helen Mccookerybook, and The Raincoats.
The nights were held on the last Thursday and second Saturdays of each month, were held at Olives cafe in Norwich, and proved to be very successful.
Hopefully one day lists of all of the Acoustic and Eclectic nights will appear here.
