Richard Gleave

Lead and rhythm guitar and backing vocals

Richard is one of the most versatile guitarists around. When not playing with The Curvy Love Dogz! he moonlights in Memphis Plates (country-rock), the Unlikely Brothers (acoustic-y country and  60's covers), Gross Misconduct, The SpreadEagles. barn dance bands, and The Concrete Cowboys (bluegrass).  Richard’s influences range from Hank Marvin through the blues rock of Clapton, Beck and Peter Green and on to Richard Thompson and Jerry Donahue.

 The highlight of his career to date was playing in the same band as the great fiddle player, Dave Swarbrick.
