Richie Edwards (known locally as Wamma) was born on 25 September 1974, in Lichfield, England. Richie is the front man, and former bassist of the british hard rock band The Darkness. He was confirmed as a member on 13 June 2005 replacing Frankie Poullain on bass. Edwards subsequently switched to lead vocals after Justin Hawkins' departure, with Toby McFarlaine taking over bass. This lineup, including original Darkness members Ed Graham and Dan Hawkins will be recording and releasing a new album under a new name, which has not yet been announced.
Richie grew up in Lichfield and was a member of bands at Netherstowe School. Subsequently, on leaving school he was employed in S&J Music, a local music shop on Bird Street and was involved in other local bands, including Gloy, who almost secured a recording deal themselves. This work ultimately lead to London and becoming a guitar technician.
Before joining The Darkness Richie Edwards worked for nearly two years as a guitar technician for the band. He was also a member of the band Onion Trump.
