Welcome to the website for Singer and Entertainer Richard Stark. Genres covered include  Musical Theatre, Classical, Swing, Folk and Pop music from the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s to the present day.

Richard Stark is one of the UK’s most versatile and charismatic entertainers whose range spans Opera, Musical Theatre, Jazz, Swing, Folk and Pop from the 1940s right through to today.

With over a thousand performances to his name, Richard’s musical journey began with playing the Cello and Guitar in a rock band before classical training unlocked one of the most flexible voices in the business. He trained at Trinity College of Music and Morley Opera, London.

He has performed at everything from intimate private parties to Glastonbury Festival, the Hilton Park Lane, Opera Holland Park, Prom in the Park events and Rugby Stadiums — to audiences of 20 to 20,000.

“Richard was simply superb! His range and energy was astonishing and, even more importantly, he connected with our guests, and adapted his set to suit their tastes and memories. Richard helped create an evening that will live long in the memory!”
