I'm just an old amateur folk singer/guitarist just out from the local folk clubs in and around Newcastle, and the North East of England, trying to make his way through the wonderful world of music technology and wherever that takes me.

Devils Water is a small, picturesque river winding through Hexhamshire in Northumberland and joining the River Tyne at Corbridge. That's where we got our name. So you could call us a sort of tributary band, perhaps... The core line-up is Richard Ridley (voice, guitar, guzuki and other stringed devices) and Raymond Greenoaken (voice, banjo, concertina, guitar, harmonium, percussion), and Patrick Walker (violin, viola, mandolin, guitar, electric guitar, voice), supplemented on occasion by trusted and gifted musicians of our acquaintance who don't mind not getting paid.
