Keith "Paddington" Richards
Musical Director.

Paddington has been connected with music industry for over thirty-five years. Throughout this period of time he has acted as Musical Director, for some of the most famous names in show business, and alongside great bandleaders such as Joe Loss.

Paddington began to fall in love with music at a very early age. He started his musical training at the age of four; and as his mother was a fine piano teacher and his father a classically trained tenor, it was inevitable that music would be his chosen career.

In the early years it was recognised that Keith had a natural "timbre" in his voice and he put this to good use as chorister. But his love for the piano soon took over and this became his main instrument. It was not long before he moved into the composing and arranging of music.

Keith had many successes with various bands but most acclaim with Whiskey Mac which after winning New Faces signed up recording contracts and toured the world.

More recently Keith has been looking after the musical needs of the Daniels family and in the last few years he has toured with Debbie, Paul and Martin on various shows and concerts. Keith was proud to be part of the creative team behind Debbie Magee's "Ballet Imaginaire"

Keith has written countless scores for pantomimes all over the country and co-writes most of the songs in the pantomime with writer Chris Moreno. Lincoln has always had a special place in his heart because he is a genuine "Yellow Belly" Being born in Grantham. It is also where he met his wife, 'Allo 'Allo star Sue Hodge who played the good fairy in last year's pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk. Together they have now formed "Mimi and the Boy" performing for corporate events and cruises.
