Big time beckons for Unkle Bob boys
by Julie Magee
BECOMING the lead singer in a band being hailed as the next big thing must be every young man’s dream. But the difference between every
young man and former Clitheroe res ident Rick Webster is that the latter has turned his dream into reality. Many people will probably remember Rick, who grew up in
Clitheroe, for his band Camberwell Carrot and the fact he was related to, or at least it seems that way, a teacher at every school in the Ribble Valley! “My grandfather Jack Hindmoor
was headteacher at St James’ C of E Primary School, my mum Anne Everett used to teach at Bowland High School and my auntie Liz Waddington teaches at Pendle Pri mary School,” Rick explained, cor recting the exaggeration.
Supported by Liberal Democrat
MP Michael Carr, who promoted the band and organised the success ful rock festivals at Clitheroe Castle in the 90s, Rick performed his first gig on Clitheroe Castle bandstand. Several circuits of the local pub
scene later and Rick’s love of music continued to flourish. But it was not until becoming a student at Glasgow University to study film and sociolo gy, th a t things really took off, thanks to Rick meeting like-minded musicians who in due course became the other members of Unkle Bob. Fast forward five years and the
group, described as an indie folk pop band, has attracted a media frenzy with critics describing them as hav ing an uncanny knack of sounding like they have been hanging around your record collection your whole life. Incidently, Unkle Boh takes its name from a hostel in Cambodia where Rick and fellow musician Geoff Widdowson stopped while travelling. Consisting of Rick (vocals, gui
tar), Stuart Cartwright (vocals, gui tar, banjo, mandolin), Ron Yeadon (drums, percussion), "Tad MacDon ald (bass) and Geoff (keyboards) the band’s influences include Pink Floyd, Van Morrison, Tim Buckley,
