Story by Abigail:

I'd been listening to a promo of Richard's first album for a while and decided to check him out live. I thought his guitar sound was fantastic, and particularly suited the intimate setting of the Hop & Grape.

A few years later he did and in store gig at Piccadilly Records when I worked there. I always remember a little lad of maybe six or seven who turned up to see the performance, frantically excited, in a miniature teddy boy outfit, replete with quiff. Richard seemed like a decent sort. His guitars were beautiful.
