Rick

Here's his version of his life ......

“ Hark! What is that we hear? Is it the soft and melancholy strains of a Clannad harmony? Or perhaps a gentle Chris De Burgh ballad sung with a voice dripping with emotion? Sadly no, it is merely our lead vocalist, Rick. With a voice that can stop a cow from taking a dump, frighten children in the next county and enough power to offer the nation a realistic alternative sustainable energy source for years to come, he rarely needs a mike. He does however need his lyric sheets as he has the short term memory of a goldfish. He also has the ability to ignore all distractions in front of him, a skill his band members have noted often as women fiddle with his flies (in his dreams). His original day job was as a chartered accountant, but having escaped the profession 20 years ago he has been a bored director of many companies. He remains President of the Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Gherkins to this day.>

He has a strange day job, which we wont dwell on. Suffice it to say that you can occasionally add up , he likes cash, and his directional skills are always a challenge. Perhaps surprisingly, his mental health issues have not been made public at work, although they have on occasion been noticed by band members and work colleagues alike. It is also good to know that his deep personal interest in gherkins has been kept out of the tabloids.”

Interestingly within the band Rick signs off mail as Voice, well usually. The other week he forgot the "O", and now describes himself perfectly, as "Vice"... if the cap fits.....
