Lady You Bring Me
My Love
Ritchie Penrose's career spans several decades throughout which his unique style has been entertaining both at home in the UK, and abroad. He continues to be one of the most in-demand performers today due to his extra-special vocal range, vast repertoire, immaculate dress and infectious personality. His sound is engineered off-stage, leaving Ritchie to do what he does best entertain.

"Thanks so much for making it to Manchester in the snow on Saturday, it could have easily gone wrong with the weather and everything but you did a great job and really made it a moment to remember for us. I have attached some of the pictures for you to see. All the best."

"Just a brief note to thank you for your performance last Saturday evening at The Venue. It was absolutely brilliant. From the minute you entered the room singing, the dance floor was buzzing and it could have gone on all night for me, it was excellent. We have had lots of great feedback and will definitely be re-booking you for another appearance, Hope you enjoyed the evening as much as myself and all our customers. Thanks again!"
Adrian Moore, The Venue @ Bowers Mill, Halifax.
"Once again, we had the pleasure of working at The Venue, Halifax on a night when Ritchie Penrose, an amazing soul singer was performing. The venue serve a fantastic meal, in a large room with great ambience, and the space allows the singer to move around the audience, singing personally to some of the guests (can be specially arranged if anyone has a birthday or anniversary). I don't think I have ever met a more talented, likeable and downright nice guy. I hope these photos do him justice. To have one of the best soul singers around performing at one of the best venues in Yorkshire always makes for a great night."

Dave Reeve, Elevation Agency May 2008
"Ritchie Penrose guarantees a sell out here at Fixby Golf Club. His relaxed style and excellent singing of the soul classics make him a regular performer. What would our ladies do without him?"
Stephen Hirst, Huddersfield Golf Club

"Good afternoon Ritchie. On behalf of all the trustees, I would like to thank you both for all your help and support given to this charity which resulted in a very successful Motown Evening. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening and gave very generously for the work of the charity. Thank you again for giving your time and wonderful voice to help raise much needed funds to assist disadvantaged children."
Mrs V. McCann, Chairman, Leeds Children's Holiday Camp Association
"Many thanks to you and Ritchie Penrose for such a wonderful evening. Having a 'live' artist at our Ladies Evening, especially one who interacts so well with an audience made for a very memorable evening for all our guests, many of whom we know have asked for your contact details. We will certainly be telling others about you and asking Ritchie back for future events."
Michael and Josephine, Old Elizabethans', Middleton
"Our first Valentines Dinner was an outstanding success. I would like to thank Ritchie for making our evening so enjoyable. Ritchie was amazing, everyone thought he was wonderful. He made the evening very special and romantic for all of us. He seems to know the words to every song ever made. He really is a very talented and mesmerising man; he had the audience in the palm of his hand. We will definitely be repeating this again next year. Thanks for all your support once again."
Sharon Rickersey, Operations Manager, Mansfield Town Football Club
"You will remember that you helped me to engage Ritchie for my event which was held on Saturday. Well, what can I say - FANTASTIC, FANTASTIC, FANTASTIC! What a fantastic event it was! - mainly because of Ritchie. He was absolutely amazing and had everyone on the dance floor within minutes. Barbara was a delight from booking stage through to the night itself - a fabulous couple. I had 130 guests and my target was 6,500 - I raised 9,000 for St.Gemma's Hospice !!! I am absolutely thrilled and this takes my total to date to almost 40,000. Ritchie certainly made the event such a very special occasion. Wow! Everyone is talking about him......... You made it so easy for me in the period leading up to the event. You are such professionals and I am very grateful to you both. If anyone is ever in doubt whether to book you for an event - just give them my number!! With grateful thanks and kind regards to you both."
