Power emerged in the mid-80s from the labyrinth of Liverpool’s abundant musical wealth. Built around the nucleus of Richard Jackman and Mark Lewis. The band scored a recording contract with Arista Records, which had on the roster at that time, Thompson Twins, Whitney Houston, Hall and Oates, Stray Cats to name a few. Also at that time they had a publishing contract with Warner Chappell Music. Whilst signed they released several singles and toured the UK with numerous top artists including their heroes the Temptations. They were also the headlining act for Paul Kelly.
Powers first single Work Hard was A listed by the UK’s premier radio station, Radio one. At this time the video which accompanied this single had more requests at the bars and clubs in Europe than Bowie/Jaggers dancing in the street.
In 1991 Richard emigrated to New Zealand where he has continued to write and perform a NZ version of Power, supporting acts that included The Muttonbirds, Lloyd Cole, Hunters and Collectors. In 2013 Richard returned to England to gig and headlined two notable gigs at Liverpools famous Cavern and London’s Putney Half Moon with a combined Power lineup of his current NZ musicians and some of the original Power members.
Richard continues to write, record and perform with Power.
