Rick joined Striding Edge in 2000, shortly after moving to the area from Essex. He now in Morecambe, where he enjoys the ambience of faded granduour, and the distant views of the Lakeland hills afforded by the sea-front!

Rick cut his teeth playing bass in an Essex church band, before becoming a full-time musician in the '90s. A veteran of the 'Indie' scene, he has toured internationally and played many top London clubs such as Powerhaus and Subterranea with a variety of 90's acts including Finn and 'mellow dude' Dan Donovan.

In the nineties, Rick become a fully-qualified sound engineer (a skill which keeps the band in good stead, both on the stage and in the studio!) and runs his own mobile recording studio Supertonic.

Rick also works as a community musician with Morecambe-based company More Music, often working with Ben, Striding Edge's drummer.
