Never tire of Quo's music. Have been a fan for over 50 years. Although the end is nigh, there will never be any better. Thanks to Quo for what they have given, it's been a great journey. 🎸🎸

I saw him first at the Sunshine Holiday Camp, I was 7 years old. Here I am 62 years later and been a Quo fan all my life. Rick is very much missed.

Just found this tribute to Rick, very well done as always, he was a fabulous guitar player and made its difficulty look easy, amazing ability to catch his audience with his fabulous playing.
Thanks as always for this great tribute to certainly one of my greatly admired guitar players!

My brother bought me a ticket to see them here in Adelaide during the 70s. Armed with my Rossi waistcoat and white T-shirt, I was introduced to the magic of live stage performances. Thank you H&HL for stirring up my memory bank again. Love your work.

The narrator omitted to say that Rick was born at Woking, Surrey, England, which is where the Elmbridge Estate is located. He lived a few doors away from my grandparents and there is a plaque to his memory in Woking town square.
