Bio
It's very hard sometimes to describe yourself ! So, here's a biog I've lifted from a cd cover;
Richie Milton's career was kick started in the late 60's, when he
appeared on national TV performing, "Got My Mojo Working", when
only 13 years of age.
In the early 70's he took up saxophone, and toured and recorded with
Freddy Macks Soul Extravaganza and reggae acts The Pioneers and
Judge Dread.
After switching to guitar he signed to Bell Records, releasing a single
and making further TV appearances. He went on to form "The London
Apaches", who became an established name on the then thriving
London R&B scene, releasing the single, "Lost In The Jungle", and
touring with the legendary Long John Baldry.
Richie Milton and his Lowdown originated as a 10 piece Rhythm and
Blues Review, who recorded the CD "Straight Ahead No Stopping",
which was released by Indigo Records, along with the follow up CD,
"Coming Back For More".
It was around this time Richie's songwriting was being noticed by
artists such as Ruby Turner and Otis Grand, who both recorded his
songs, paving the way for his well acknowledged talent as a singer and
songwriter
