The Risk (1985)

Based in Alderley / Wilmslow, The Risk played their own Soul / Rn'b tinged rock style and were regular giggers around Mcr. The band featured the vocals of Joe Roberts (pictured in the middle) who went on to have success as a solo artist and Jimi Goodwin (2nd left), now of Doves, on guitar. Jimi's musicianship was exceptional for his age (15 at the time I think?). I can't recall the drummer's name (far right) sorry; the other two members are guitarist Steve Green (far left) and 4th left is bassist Dermot Aherne. Picture was taken on a bitterly cold Sunday morning on Alderley Edge as part of a photo shoot for publicity stuff.

“I've had a dive through old pictures but can't find anything; and a trawl through 'google images' using various different tags hasn't come up with anything. See if this helps. The bass drum had a single skin but If I recall correctly the casing split into two curved tubes. All tom-tom's were elongated with a curved tube ending. And it was white. Not the greatest picture with words but it was a long time ago.”

“Hey Mitch not sure if you are still active on this platform, just wondered if you had access to the original photo of The Risk on the Edge, I'd love a copy for the cover of an old scrapbook of mine, cheers Whitty.”
