David Childs interviews Richard Buckley
BBW Editor, David Childs, catches up with Richard Buckley - professional timpanist and percussionist in Portugal.

My father’s side of the family were all involved in music. My auntie was an accompanist for various male voice choirs; my uncle played tuba in Tredegar with my dad and grandfather, and to my knowledge still has a connection with the band, and my cousin, now a freelance trumpet player, started off playing with Tredegar.
