Richard Anthony Hewson (born 17 November 1943, Stockton-on-Tees, Teesside) is an English producer, arranger, conductor and multi-instrumentalist, who is best recognised for his studio group The RAH Band Hewson founded The RAH Band – of which he was the sole member and which took its name from his initials – in 1977 – to release an instrumental called The Crunch. The piece climbed to number 6 in the UK Singles Chart. Hewson played all the musical instruments himself. The arrangement involved the use of no synthesisers, only conventional guitar and keyboards with pedal effects. A number of jazz funk releases followed. The second big hit single for the RAH Band was in 1985, when the soul ballad Clouds Across the Moon, also reached number 6 in the UK chart. Vocals were provided by his wife Liz. In July 2007, Hewson released a remixed Clouds Across the Moon 07, now featuring vocalist Emma Charles. The RAH bands releases were issued under a variety of record labels, including Good Earth Records, DJM, KR Records, TMT Records and RCA.
