Richard Gorbutt is pleased to be back on the VLOC stage again after a small hiatus. He has performed with VLOC in The Mikado, Iolanthe, Gondoliers, Yeomen of the Guard and The Magic Flute amongst many. However his favorite role so far was that of Benny in The Desert Song where he had the chance to play opposite his wife, Rachael, whom he thanks for her support and for her patience as he tries to learn chord structures!
