    "My name is John Hardaker and I played electric and acoustic rhythm guitar on the launch of Richard Madden’s 'Force of Nature' album.

    To be a member of such an ensemble at a venue like the venerable Vanguard was definitely one of the high points of my playing life - and I have been playing for over 40 years. Every member was a joy to play with and the vibe was up all the way. To play with someone such as Clayton Doley on keys was a revelation.

    But the main man of the night - I know he is too modest and down-to-earth to be comfortable with the description ’star’ - was Richard Madden. The energy he brings is something palpable; God, his guitar-playing can be downright hair-raising. With his vocals and ace songwriting, he really is a triple-threat.

    The 'Force of Nature' songs were such fun and exciting to play. They ran the full roots gamut from four-on-the-floor rockers to hard blues to acoustic shuffles to introspective material and beyond. Listening and playing i could hear echoes of so much of my favourite music, yet each was undeniably Richard’s vision - and they all hung together perfectly cohesively.

    The same can be said for Richard’s guitar playing - sure, you can hear Buddy Guy, SRV, Eric Clapton and Albert King in there, but what flows and jolts out of his fretboard like blue-white lightning is all Madden.

    A night to remember - certainly one this rhythm guitar play will never forget. And what a treat to know it was recorded. Enjoy! - Hell, I did!"

about

Further cementing his place as one of Australia’s premier guitarist, Richard Madden releases ‘GET A LOAD OF THIS!’ Friday 28 October 2022, a new live album containing 14 tracks which features an all-star 10-piece band!

The show was recorded at the Vanguard, Sydney for the launch of Richard’s debut album, ‘Force of Nature’ and features a few firsts. First time played live versions of Messin’ with the Kid, Reefer Headed Woman, Habits of a Lifetime and Going Down. This also marks the first time performing with horns of stage. As Richard recalls, the preparation for the show was not exactly ideal.

‘I have always loved soul music so to play with a 10 piece ensemble was a dream and exciting, however due to scheduling conflicts, only half the band could rehearse on the Saturday and the other half on the Sunday before Tuesday’s show, so the whole band met for the first time on the night and this new live record is the result, it’s the sound from the driver’s seat, one chance, one shot, what a trip!’

Overall the energy instilled in this performance is palpable and is a testament to the songs and musicianship on display. Credit must also be given to the production crew and to the audience for being so loud and supportive!

In conjunction with the CD/digital release of the album, there will also be available a limited edition 34-page photo album featuring a foreword by John Hardaker, photos and memorabilia from the night making it the perfect companion to the 14-track album!

‘Cannonball’ single will be available from Friday October 7.
