• Double-bass, ukelele, vocals, dance-calling.

A good solid bass player is the heart of every band, and 'Rocking Rickster' is our man in this department!

Rick's versatile double-bass playing underpins a Striding Edge number with whatever is required; be that a bowed drone or a wicked roots-rock groove, locking in with Ben's drums to create the band's distinctively modern, energised dance vibe.

Add to that Rick's vibrant harmony vocals, robust dance calling and occasional ukelele and guitar, and you have a player very much on Striding Edge's frontline.

Rick is a qualified and seasoned sound engineer, handling all the band's live sound. He has also produced all of Striding Edge's CD albums to date.

Rick joined Striding Edge in 2000. A seasoned all-round musician and educator, Rick also works for community music organisation More Music In Morecambe with Ben.
