Coming into the UK music business from America via Old Hill, Ricky first hit the headlines with The Icebergs, only to re-form as The Realtos where he came to the attention of ex-Led Zeppelin star Robert Plant who recruited him into his Honeydrippers. Ricky's next project was The Big Town Playboys which began his long-term partnership with Andy Silvester of Savoy Brown and Chicken Shack. One of the hottest frontmen in the business, Ricky now leads the unstoppable Hoola Boola Boys who have toured with such greats as the legendary Jerry Lee Lewis.
