ABOUT

Disbanded my excellent blues band in Nov 2016, joined another great band that didn't survive lockdown. Since then I have jammed on a regular basis with some of the very best, written a bit, recorded a bit, but avoided the commitment of gigging (bar some dep work) to concentrate on non-music stuff.

Find me at soundcloud/richard-vocal (Broken Doll, is a co-composition, but NOT my vocal)

Voice in fantastic shape. Ready now to commit to a band project.

As the attached clips demonstrate, I'm extremely versatile and blessed with an excellent range and a lot of power. Chiefly I'm all about engaging the audience.

Blues, soul, Americana, funk; anything where it's about performance and getting the punters out of their seats.

EQUIPMENT

An SM58, a stand and a lead. Several harmonicas, so I can play badly in a variety of keys. I'd rather leave that to a player who knows what he's doing. The only PA I have at present is a full, massive band set-up with bass bins requiring their own postcode.
