Richard has also toured extensively with Robin Trower and continues to work with Robin in various vocal and intrumental sessions. "I had never played the bass until Robin (Trower) asked me if I could learn it for an upcoming tour, back in 1999. So I said, yea sure. I found my way around the bass well enough to cover the parts and ended up singing and playing bass for Robin on the next tour. I am eternally grateful to Robin for the experience playing with him has given me"
