" Hi there, my name is Rick Wild and I was born in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. I feel that I have been privileged and fortunate to have had a career in music that started when I was only 14 years old and still going strong today with just as much enthusiasm as the day I started. I still have my band 'The Overlanders' as well as a solo career, having played top venue's all over the world including the Sheffield Arena, this was the biggest 60's show ever staged in the UK - 60's Gold Hitmakers - May 27th 1993 featuring no less than seven of the biggest names in the 60's... Gerry & The Pacemakers, The Swinging Blue Jeans, The Fortunes, Cliff Bennett & The Rebel Rousers, Freddy & The Dreamers, Mike Pender's Searchers and of course ourselves The Overlanders. The event was compered by the legendary Keith Skues. Please have a click around my site, let me know what you think about the music scene today, If you have ever been to one of my concerts I would also love to hear from you. Best wishes Rick Wild " |
