Richard Havers
Richard has made a career from his passion for music
Richard Havers spent 20 years working in the airline industry, most recently as Vice President Europe for Continental Airlines. In 1989, approaching the age of 40, he decided to pursue his passion for music.

He began working in advertising, going on to write and produce over 2,000 ads, jingles and sound-a-like recordings for radio and television. He has produced in-flight radio shows for airlines and launched one of Turkey’s first commercial radio stations. He has also produced concerts for artists such as Paul McCartney and the Beach Boys.

Richard and Bill Wyman (ex-bass player with the Rolling Stones) have been friends for many years and have collaborated on two DK books: Bill Wyman’s Blues Odyssey and Rolling With The Stones, the former becoming a TV series.

His latest book, Sinatra (DK, 2004) reveals the full story behind the man, the music, the myth and the movies of ol' blue eyes himself.

Richard lives in the Scottish Borders with his wife Christine.
