 | MATTHEW FLOYD JONES in Richard Carpenter Is Close To You Richard from The Carpenters used to be on top of the world looking down on creation, to the left of (and slightly behind) Karen. Now, he’s back at the piano once more in this razor-sharp tragicomedy that takes you on the ultimate ticket to ride. Cos solitaire really is the only game in town! Written and performed by Matthew Floyd Jones, the piano player from Frisky & Mannish. Disclaimer: this affectionate but unsparing parody is not endorsed by the real Richard Carpenter.
Join Richard as he heads out on tour this Autumn, where he'll 'sing, sing a song, sing out loud'...and finally get his chance to enjoy the limelight.
