Richard Morse has been a guitarist
and Pink Floyd fan since an early age. As a teenager he played in
an original rock band who's set at one time included 'In The Flesh' and
'Another Brick In The Wall'. Their list of gigs regularly included
London venues such as the Marquee. After leaving that band Richard
continued to play in covers bands whose styles ranged from Blues to
Acoustic Rock, but nothing as dedicated as a tribute band.
In the year before joining Think
Floyd Richard attempted to start his own Floyd tribute, this didn't get
past rehearsals due to some band members having heavy musical
commitments elsewhere but it was at these rehearsals in SE London where
he saw Think Floyd's advert looking for a guitarist. He made the call
and was soon playing his first gig with Think Floyd to over 3000 people
at the Peterborough Beer Festival in August 2003.
Richard first time became aware of
Pink Floyd watching the Knebworth festival on TV during the summer of
1990 during the dying days of the 'Delicate Sound Of Thunder' tour.
Richard says "It's fair to say that for quite some time I have been
obsessed with the Gilmour guitar style. When asked to name a favourite
Floyd track, album or Gilmour guitar solo, I always struggle, so here
are a few of my favourites: 'Time', 'Shine On', 'Wish You Were Here',
'Comfortably Numb'. Favourite album? 'Wish You Were Here', although that
will probably change next week!"
