My name is Richard Hillyer, also known as “The Guitar Coach.” I started playing the guitar at the age of eight after a family holiday in Menorca and haven’t looked back since. I started performing at the age of nine at pubs and social club and have been playing live most weekends in bands and as a session guitarist ever since. My main band I perform with and manage is called Freeze. We play at Weddings, Parties & Corporate functions.Â
