This Joyful Soul Music Destination Is of Course Situated In The Heart of The Former Docklands Area, Since Redeveloped In The 1980s & 90s. Before That It Was Central To The Joyless Lives of People Enslaved In The Caribbean, Including The Surrounding Areas of The East India Dock And West India Quay, A Trading Hub Where Departures, Arrivals And Cruel Commerce Faciltated The New Sea Bound “Merchant Classes”. Aka “Slave Owners” Who Infamously Traded In Planations And African People As Well As Their Resources. Indeed Just Last Month The Family of The Former British Prime Minister, William Gladstone, Formerly Apologised For Their Involvement In The Slave Trade. canarywharf.com

The Main
Reason I Like Doing This Is Because We Have A great Time.
We’re Going To So Many Theatres Now. We’ve Travelled Abroad. We’ve Gone All Over The Place. Places I Wouldn’t Go Normally.
Just To See People’s Faces…
I’m A Kind of An Entertainer. I Like To Bring The Music To The People And Take In The Feedback About How They Feel. It’s Not Really About Me. It’s About How People Feel.
If They Are Happy,
I’m Happy.
That’s The Kind of Entertainer I Am.

What’s The Best Thing About Being A Musician?
“Just The Reaction & The Response That You Get From People. For Me It Doesn’t Feel Like A Job. It Just Feels Like Something I Enjoy Doing. But The Way People React, That’s Got To Be Number One.”
TO.P: And What’s The Toughest Thing?
RB: “When You Have To Work And You’re Not In The Mood. If You’re Going Through Things At Home or Stuff Like That. Obviously Being Professinal You’ll Do It Anyway. And When We Fall Out In The Band It’s Never Nice Either.”
[RB‘s Answer Here Is So Honest & Powerful We Had To Give The Music Maestro A Shout Out For Highlighting The Personal Dedication & Sacrifice It Takes To Succeed In The Music Business. And How Positivity Can Overcome Negativity].

Richie Sampson’s Tough Teaching Career Encomopassed The Important Qualities of Self-Discipline, Organization, And Time-Keeping And Now They Have Proven To Be Valuable Transferrable Skills He Finds Essential In His Subsequent Career As A Lead Singer.
[Coincidentally, Sting, The Former Lead Singer of The 80s Band ‘The Police’ Used To Be A Teacher Too. He Taught English In Newcastle. Richie Taught Physics & Chemsistry In South East London. Both Now Are Still Enjoying Their New Found Careers As Successful Musicians In Their Autumn Years Having Taken A Leap of Faith.]
[So They Were Both Teachers From Up North.
Whether They Are Both Tantric Is Another Matter!
Sting’s Tantric Exploits Are Legendary. The Former English Teacher From Newcastle, Turned Rock Star, Turned Tantric Sex Guru Has Previously Been Very Expressive When It Comes To His And His Wife Trudi’s Trantric Exploits!
Richie However Was Keeping His Cards Close To His Chest!
