Rich loved to bring people happiness and joy through music.
He wanted to create a 'Desert Island Discs' of songs that were meaningful to his family & friends to tell the stories of his life.
Temptation
When I play it, which is fairly regularly a few times a year, I always have the memory of Richard and I discussing our likes (or dislikes) of the bands of the day.
My Perfect Cousin
The moment he told me he was ill and again on hearing his passing, I immediately reached out to this song.
Girls on Film
Me and foz lived two doors away in alton Hampshire knew him from the age of 11 and we would walk to school and go fishing always remember listening to Duran Duran girls on film full blast on his stereo.
Think Twice
Who remembers that ‘conga’ at the Big Chill? The sunniest of days, we’d got split up, Rich’s smiley face found us in the crowd and led our group back to the others. [1/3]
Cross The Track
He helped me ‘brush-up’ my mixing skills (loose term 😂) so that I could play out at a fund-raising party I was hosting. [2/3]
Let The Sunshine In
We all need a bit of sunshine right now - this sums up Sunday lunchtime at the Big Chill. [3/3]
House ya Body
I remember the first time I played, I turned up with vinyl and the look of shock on Rich's face when he realised I didn't know it was all digital with no actual turntables 😀.
Cousin’s Song
Rich would laugh at my choice of song not quite his ‘cup of tea’ but it reminds me of our childhood.
How do I let go
The moment he told me he was ill and again on hearing his passing, I immediately reached out to this song.
Now I’m here
Knowing how much Richard loved this great QUEEN classic Miles did his rendition on drums and dedicated it to Richard . great song
