RICKEY RICKETTS<br />
28 JUNE 1962 - 16 JANUARY <strong>2018</strong><br />
“It is with immense sadness and heavy hearts that we have to announce<br />
the passing of our colleague, friend, brother, father and partner who lost<br />
his battle with Stage 4 Glioblastoma Multiforme, the most aggressive<br />
form of brain cancer. Rickey was known to many of us as the FOH<br />
Engineer for bands including Rudimental, Orbital, Groove Armada,<br />
Erasure, Labrinth, Freestylers, Alabama3, The Herbaliser, The Bluetones,<br />
The Bays, Roots Manuva, Red Snapper, Terry Callier, Marlon Roudette,<br />
Nightmares on Wax, Beth Orton, Zero 7, Corduroy and Mother Earth to<br />
name but a few.<br />
“Without exception, the tributes to Rickey all mention his positive<br />
outlook and good will, which was his default position. The world is a<br />
different, colder place without him.<br />
Rest easy, dood.”<br />
- Tim Hardstaff<br />
