” Rich is our guitar hero, and writes/performs with the talented Essex band The Library Suits. His musical comfort zone revolves around Metallica, Muse, Green Day, Led Zepplin et al, but he’s ready to embrace all styles of music, and every challenge that comes his way. Apart from a passion for music, Rich is also partial to comedy programmes like Family Guy, South Park, and The Inbetweeners, supports Liverpool FC, and enjoys a good game of football himself! When he’s not working you might find him distracted by facebook, twitter, ice lollies, and the odd book like Lord of The Rings. ”

He has a long list of favourite music acts, which include The Beatles, Bjork, Tori Amos, Mozart, Manic Street Preachers, Kate Bush, Radiohead, and Pearl Jam. When he’s not listening to music he enjoys reading (Kurt Vonnegut), and in his own words ‘walking the Heinz 57 Mongrel that dominates the house’ he lives in. His treasured music moments include meeting Gryff from SFA, handing his former bands CD to Jimi Goodwin on stage at the Manchester Apollo, and generally experiencing his favourite bands/songs live.”
