Mike Willoughby’s Raving Rock “Contact Rock”
Fund raiser for Duddon and Furness Mountain Rescue Team.
Raving Rock members Mike Willoughby (lead vocals and guitar) Rick Middleton (bass guitar and vocals) and Ben McCabe (drums and vocals) have played together for well over two decades in the popular Cumbrian roots band Striding Edge. They make music together as tight as a bowline knot: They take this approach forward with them into Raving Rock…
Raving Rock will be playing their show, “Contact Rock”. A celebration of all that is wild and joyous, edgy and compulsive in rock-climbing and mountaineering.
The songs are based on Mike’s own climbing experiences plus the stories and lyrics of climber friends.
The songs explore the histories, myths and legends that define our crags and our mountains.
The songs work in sequence, a racy adventure into the psyche and the soul of the rock-climber and mountaineer.
The songs are interwoven with short spoken-word and storytelling pieces.
The songs are paired with projections of Mike’s original paintings.
