   About Ric Blow
This page is the home of

Ric Blow's home recordings.



He also fronts a band called POCKET DRUMMERS, who you will find a live song by and a link to elsewhere on this page..... They sound a bit like his solo songs but Ric has to sing louder so you can hear his words.... because the band gets pretty loud at times! They will play some gigs soon.

You can also find Ric playing alongside (Boring) Bob Grover (ex The Piranhas) in the oddball Brighton based Kerplunk-pop band DATES, who are also in the friends list below. DATES have been played on Radio 2 and BBC6 music, have recorded an album, and performed gigs around and about the south east of England (plus a few further away!) since 2006.

You are welcome to smile and say 'Hi' if you see Ric.... or throw stuff depending on your mood.

Nov 28 2008 5:42 PM

Hello there!



Fishbowl Acoustic Showcase returns to the Foyer Bar of the Trinity Theatre in Tunbridge Wells next Saturday, 6th December.



This month’s candle-lit electro-acoustic show features Ric Blow, Little Fish Big Pond and the LayLanas.



Ric Blow (www. myspace. com/sympatheticstrings) is an acoustic singer/songwriter from Brighton. Fishbowl aficionados may remember the last time he played, back in 2006 with Sympathetic Strings. His sound straddles the Anglo/Americana stratosphere and is predominantly acoustic based with a rich, textured sound. It is laid back, melodic and fun....Lyrical, memorable and hope-filled. Expect lots of fingerstyle guitar and quirky, oddball lyrics.



Little Fish Big Pond (www. littlefishbigpond. co. uk) will be making a welcome return to the Trinity to play an energetic mix of new material and old favourites. Most of you probably know who we are by now – Daren, Mike, Craig and Martin... ‘nuff said!



Headlining the show is Brighton-based band The LayLanas (www. myspace. com/thelaylanas). Fronted by Lana McDee and Sandra Lea, the band combines lilting melodies with poignant lyrics set against a backdrop of acoustical vibrancy. They have received a number of rave reviews recently, with their music being described as “lively, colorful, and full of secret sounds and harmonic energy”.



Doors open 7:30pm, music starts 8pm. Tickets £6 (adults), £4 (under 14s) from Trinity Box Office on 01892 678678.



Hope to see you there!
