The Wicker Man
Ritchie I enjoyed writing and recording this “Wickerman” folk song and I like the way the acoustic blues licks gelled well with the folk energy of the song. The song “Wickerman” was inspired my attendance at Witchfest in Oxfordshire which was a Children Of Artemis event. I myself am a Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki Master Teacher and even though Japanese Reiki is my own spiritual path and practice (what with the meditations and energetic cleansing exercises )I did find the Artemis event full of wonderful energy and people and...

Ritchie “Ready To Roll” is a true rock n roll song in every sense of the word and I wanted to lay down a blues rock riff that had a real drive and power and I feel this song has that struttin swagger to it.

The recording was a really great day and evening of inspired playing on guitar and bass from myself and positive energy from producer Mr Secret. I thoroughly enjoyed laying down the guitar tracks and the hard rock riffs...

Hope you all really enjoy the new Rock tracks and 2011 is gonna be good. Ritchie Dave Porter slaving...

Yeah rockers and funkateers alike ! The Ritchie and producer Mike Tingle (the secret) got together whilst the Ritchie was on annual leave from his Therapy day job to record a killer Doors/Led Zeppelin inspired hybrid rock tune in Moseley Village. I think you Ritchie fans will love it. Mean chunky fat guitar riffs and a pounding hard rock sound. Its cool groovin rock n roll. Ritchie Dave x I’m just misunderstood Epic solo recorded live at the end of the song on...
