ROCK ‘N RAVIOLI: An Intimate Evening with RICKY WARWICK (Thin Lizzy, Black Star Riders, The Almighty and New Model Army)

Songwriter/Guitarist Ricky Warwick was cut from the cloth of a mill workers jacket. Raised on a diet of Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Thin Lizzy, Stiff Little Fingers, Motown and everything in between. Ricky got a call to join acclaimed U.K. Punk/Folk band New Model Army as rhythm guitarist on their 1987 “Ghost Of Cain” World Tour. After leaving New Model Army, Ricky went on to form The Almighty. The band enjoyed ten top forty singles and four top twenty albums in the U.K. touring worldwide with such iconic bands as Ramones, Motorhead, Megadeth and Iron Maiden. Warwick toured globally opening for the likes of Def Leppard, Cheap Trick, Bryan Adams and Lynyrd Skynyrd. In January 2010 Ricky received a call from his old friend Scott Gorham who was spearheading a reformation of Ireland’s favorite sons Thin Lizzy and wanted Ricky to front the new line up, which he did and is a still a member of. Keen not to dilute the Thin Lizzy legacy, yet determined to create new music, Warwick would play a pivotal part in the formation of Black Star Riders, fronting and writing on a string of highly acclaimed BSR records and tours. Warwick remains the frontman and main songwriter for the band.
