RICHMOND "RITCHIE" GARRICK
It was at a performance that we met Ritchie. He performed as the ever-so-energetic Boney M. His act was so cool that we were all very impressed with him; so much so that we (initiated by Alan) wanted him to join the Davalgee Brothers.
Richmond loved the idea just as much as we did and so he became the fifth Davalgee Brother. He ceased his Boney M act and gave himself 100% to the Davalgee Brothers act.
Beside his great musical talent, one thing that Ritchie brought to Davalgee was "INTENSITY." Everything Ritchie did, he did with great intensity and perfection. He was a very serious minded individual who took his act very seriously.
Along with being very serious about Davalgee, Richmond was also a graphic Artist in the making. As with Davalgee, he spent considerable time perfecting is art... and that artistic hard work is now paying off.
Richmond Garrick has become a wonderful artist and graphic designer with PAINTING as his main passion. Richmond's Paintings have been shown in galleries in the U.S. and internationally.
