Born in West Ham, London, Richard Digance is a BAFTA Nominated entertainer and a recipient of The Gold Award from The British Academy of Composers and Songwriters.
Along with award-winning radio documentaries he also composed and performed the music for the audio book version of work written by one of the world's best selling authors, Bill Bryson.
On his own ITV TV show in the 1980s and 90s he played a guitar duet with Queen's Brian May as well as joining Status Quo and The Moody Blues for cameo appearances.
Richard has made nearly 200 appearances on Channel 4s Countdown, released 43 albums and published 22 books. Off stage he has ghost-written autobiographies for many celebrities and is a sought after writer of after-dinner speeches.
Although a concert performer in his own right, Richard has also supported Steve Martin in The USA and both the late comedy genius Robin Williams and Roy Orbison at The London Palladium as well as Tom Jones at The Royal Albert Hall.
Richard lives in the Wiltshire countryside, close to Salisbury, where he spends time in his recording studio composing songs and soundtrack music for TV and films.
Richard has been playing for the Hitchin audience since 1973, and has been a huge friend of the club over the years, even lending us his popularity by playing the resident spot for the first night at a new venue in 1980.

Many of our concerts are "pay on the door". We have 140 capacity, so there is not generally an issue with being able to get in. Concerts that we are fairly sure are going to sell out are designated "Ticket only" events, for which tickets must be purchased in advance. However, tickets may be purchased in advance for any concert. Order your tickets by dropping us an email.
We now have facility to purchase tickets in advance by bank transfer, preferable to avoid contact with cash on the night. We will hold tickets on the door for you or post them for the addition of £1. We also now have a contactless card option for on the door purchases.
