Richard Beale started as a drummer in rock bands in the south of England being inspired by progressive musical influences including Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Crosby Stills and Nash, Clapton and latterly the Eagles. He extended his range of instruments to the guitar and keyboards and started composing and recording his own material in the eighties.

Richard has a passion for Dickens’s ‘A Christmas Carol’ and inevitably ‘Screwge’ was created in 2002.
Richard completed a successful career as a senior Police Officer and cites that demanding arena of work for the development of a highly developed sense of humour that is much in evidence throughout ‘Screwge’. He is also a Member of the International Songwriters and Composers Guild.
