Rico - is he playing live in the UK or Holland soon?

[leggo rocker]

I saw Rico again a couple of years ago. It was a great concert.

I'd love to see him again but can't find an upcoming gig listed anywhere.

I'd be happy (very happy) to travel to Holland to see him, or anywhere in the UK of course!

Any other big name gig news you know about would be cool.

And 25-06-07 Reduit Mainz Germany.

I know he's been doing a lot in JP lately. Just got this and can't stop playing it:

If Germany were a little closer...

Hmm, looks like I may be in Germany this June!

Anyone know how to contact Rico? Maybe I have to book him and organise a UK gig myself?

Fancy a Ska-down in Skegness anyone?

If you organise it, you know a good ska/rocksteady dj who will be happy to join the line up!

And I even have an idea for the support band!

i might be able to get a contact for u, you will be happy to here there is a documentary thats recently been finnished all about Rico, it's not very long but supposed to be very good....
I'll be putting a full review of the documentary onto my website in the next week or 2.

[leggo rocker]

I would be very happy if you could do that for me. And I would love to see that docu.

I spoke to Rico in London after his Gig there a couple of years ago, he's not only a very talented musician but he's also a thoroughly nice person.

We spoke about his show in Evercreech in Somerset at the Bath and Wells Showground (I think 1980) as part of the Womad festival. I sais I was there and asked him if he remembered playing there. He not only remembered it well but said it was one of the best gigs of one of the best tours, with one of the best bands he'd ever had the pleasure to do.

i'm sending u a message with contact details now........
