"Rickey’s care for the narrative in the show is admirable, and his attention to detail in the music to aid with the story really helped to the success of the piece.
Rickey works in a professional manner at all times and communicates with maturity and sensitivity beyond his age. His commitment and reliability are exemplary. I can recommend him without reservation."
Lisa Blair, Director - Love Story
"Rickey's pianistic skills are very strong across a wide range of styles. It’s clear that he has a secure classical technique and relishes the musical theatre canon – his knowledge of which is extensive.
Rickey has the potential to be a very sensitive accompanist of soloists and already has the facility at the keyboard to drive an ensemble when needed."
Michael Howcroft, Director
