Richard Marcangelo (2000 - 2001)

Drums Richard Marcangelo

"Raised in Fishguard, South Wales, where is father worked for the secret police amid rising political chaos, Richard fled to London to pursue a career in modern popular music.

Since finding peace and tranquility in North London he has worked with David George's Cinerama, Wilko Johnson, Desmond Dekker, Rober Plant, Mica Paris, Eddie Reader, Sniff 'n the Tears, Allson Limerick, Chris DeBurgh, Gilbert O'Sullivan and Bradford Marsalis.

Richard attributes his phenomenal success to having kept a clean UK driving license throughout his entire adult life. "

This was the original biog that Richard gave when he joined the MMEB 2000 tour. Following its publication he made the following comments.

"Since my biog was published I have had some people come up to me at gigs and say 'I didn't know your father was in the secret police' to which I reply - 'well you wouldn't, would you?'

My first connection with the band was back in 1990 when I knew Steve Fernie and we worked on the remix programme, Medicine Song and Sikelele. I was also involved in some tracks on Soft Vengence. Its great touring with the band and I am looking forward to working on the new album.

Richard left the band in the spring of 2001.
