BIOGRAPHY

Richard Sully started playing semi-professionally in pubs in his home town of Newport, South Wales
in 1983 at the age of seventeen. He soon became a regular fixture at several local venues in the area
and whilst studying for a degree at University College, Cardiff, was resident pianist at the well known
Celtic Manor Resort, considered, then and now, to be Wales' finest five star hotel.


Moving to London in 1988 to study for a postgraduate degree in Music IT, Richard continued to earn
a steady income from performing and finally became fully professional in 1989. His first professional
residency took him to Adelaide, Australia where he perfomed nightly at the city's Terraces Hotel. On
his return to the UK, residencies followed at the famous Landmark Hotel in central London and the
Hilton at Cobham in Surrey as well as private engagements all over the country. Appearances on cruise
liners such as Swan -Hellenic's 'Minerva' have taken Richard to many parts of the world. In more than
twenty-five years of performing, he has played at some of the finest hotels and venues in the UK and for
more than two years was nightly resident pianist at London's Savoy. He has entertained presidents
and royalty alike as well as celebrities from the worlds of film and music. He currently lives in West
Berkshire and is married with two young children.


As a writer of music, Richard has had several commercial releases and is a writer member of The Performing Rights Society. His collaborations with co-writer Bob Patmore have resulted in his work being used for feature film and television documentaries. His songs have been recorded by chart artists and co-produced by the likes of Mike Stock, formerly of Stock, Aitken and Waterman.

In association with music producer Bob Patmore and singer Leo Sayer, Richard contributed incidental music as well as a new song for the 2001 feature film 'Arthur's Dyke' starring Pauline Quirke, Warren Clarke and Dennis Waterman. The end title credits of the film feature Leo Sayer singing their song 'Peace of Mind' and an instrumental piano version of the song is used in the film.
