Artist Info: Richard Skelton

Richard Skelton is an English musician, living on the west coast of Ireland.
Following the death of his wife Louise in 2004, he began to make music as a way of coming to terms with the tragedy.[2] His music, which uses a number of instruments – principally guitar and violin, has been compared with that of Arvo Pärt[3] among others. His recordings explicitly reference places of emotional resonance, specifically the West Pennine Moors, and the area around the sparsely populated parish of Anglezarke. [read more...]
