Vocalist Richard Bedford, best known for his work with Above & Beyond on their critically acclaimed album “Tri-State” & singles “Alone Tonight” & "Stealing Time" the former being nominated for best Trance/Progressive single at the 2007 International Dance Music Awards at the Miami WMC. Richard is currently working with Above & Beyond on their follow up to Tri-State and still writing his own album. A warm thanx to everyone on here for their kindness, love and support… especially Dan the man, the Above and Beyondies, all those at Anjunabeats and Deep, Charlotte, The Zab & the Twiddles, Mike & Anna, Janice, Jonathan and Joel, Myon and Shane54, Mark Andrez, Neil & Linda.. Keep checking back for more info on the album progress! "As a song ‘Alone tonight’ is without question one of the most memorable and sing-along orientated uptempo dance numbers to have appeared in a very long time, and I’ve watched whole club crowds mouthing the words in unison!" Judge Jules
