It explores the rich musical heritage of the region, blending folk rock, blues, and storytelling traditions that northern artists are known for.

Northern Music Man (Why Aye Man)

This track is a cover of an unreleased Alan Hull song which I felt deserved to be heard by a wider audience because like most of Alan’s songs, it was typically brilliant. I’ve been a fan of Alan’s music for many years, through his years in Lindisfarne and his incredibly diverse solo albums, his songs are ingrained in the fabric of the North East and they jump from being haunting, funny, absurd and beautiful.
20th February 2025 would have been Alan’s 80th birthday so I’m releasing my version of ‘Here I Am’ as a celebration of this occasion, to celebrate an artist who truly paved the way for other musicians, without him, a lot of what we hear in the North East and beyond would not have been possible! Thank you Alan.

It’s a canny Christmas

I’m mainly a painter, although I can play simple tunes on the Guitar, Ukulele Charango and Keyboards; hence I think of my musical compositions as ‘sound paintings.’ When I’m creating a new piece I try to picture the scene and the emotions in my mind. The descriptions and the uploaded images are there to assist the listener to visualise my musical creation.  My view of any kind of art be it painting, sculpture or music, is that it should leave an impression, whether it is good or bad is up to the individual viewer or listener. The viewer/listener either likes it or not. I always have music playing (sometimes I even dance to the music) while I’m painting, as it keeps me in the mood of that particular artistic piece.  My main musical influences are Jean Michel Jarre, Frank Zappa, Los Calchakis, Tchaikovsky and The Rolling Stones. I also create small sculptural pieces, write poetry and short stories plus occasionally photography. . My artistic influences are Van Gogh, the Fauvists such as Matisse, Derain and Vlaminck, French and Nordic Impressionists namely Monet, Cezanne, Munch, Osslund and Erichsen.  Nolde, Kalella, Klimpt, Hokusai, Hundertwasser and  Wu Guangzong have also had an influence on my work.

Solo singer and acoustic guitarist based in the North East of England. A real human. Being. No A.I. No auto-tune. Black Sheep.

 ENJOY!

Whether it was supporting Les Battersby from Coronation Street in a Lionel Richie covers band, being sandwiched between the bingo and Sticky Vicky as one of The Blues Brothers or even playing his acoustic upside down in the middle of nowhere before heading off to work all night in a car factory...Ricky’s rite of passage continues to be a colourful one!

Ricky began his musical journey when he was still at school as a bass player playing in bands in the North East and London before moving on to Spain and slowly gravitating from the shadows to the centre stage.

Years spent travelling around the North playing at endless different venues and events honed his craft and reputation as a solid performer and in March 2020 he released his debut album ‘The Right Light’ to critical acclaim, having three tracks from it played on BBC Introducing, including one track of the week for ‘Coming Up’.
