Richard McNamara
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard McNamara (born 23 October 1972) is the guitarist for the English band Embrace. He and his older brother, Danny, grew up in the village of Bailiff Bridge, near Bradford, in West Yorkshire. Danny is the band's singer.
He and Danny were pupils at Hipperholme Grammar School in the village of Hipperholme, near Halifax.
According to Danny, as a child he was nicknamed 'Firestarter' as he was fascinated with fire and was always playing with a box of matches.
He was initially the drummer for a thrash metal garage band in his late teens, and it is believed that Embrace began when Danny barged into a session and started telling he and his bandmates what to do.
Although Richard has worked with his brother in writing many of the band's songs, he only single-handedly sings a few songs. Most notably "One Big Family" and "Hooligan" which were both issued as singles.
Richard McNamara and his wife Joanne live in Halifax with their two children, Ella and Sonny.
