In 2015, singer-songwriter & transglobal troubadour Liam Rickard left his homeland, Eryri, for global metropolis of London to create a multi-lingual, pan-global-alt-pop-folk band. In 2016, Worldwide Welshman & Beyond were born out of the jamming scene of North-East London. Since then the project has expanded internationally with alternative lineups in Belgium, Germany and Wales, and collaborators across Europe and beyond. Liam & his siblings come from a musical family. Their father is a novelty-jazz-folk singer from Lancashire, as was his father and before him, and their maternal grandmother loved to share songs from her Russian-Jewish heritage in the folk clubs of Woolverhampton and London. Worldwide Welshman's great-grandfather was the famous Russian-Jewish Cantor, Yankel Der Hizeriker Gottlieb. In keeping with the global ethos of the project, Worldwide Welshman's first/demo album, “The World Is Like A Crazy Goat,” (2018) has been recorded variously in Wales, Italy, Ghent, Algiers, London and Oxford. It features past and present members of the band, and collaborations with musicians he met along the way. The album contains original songs in English, Spanish & Chinese and alternative versions of two popular Welsh folk songs. Liam describes his songs as "upbeat, tragi-comic reflections on the absurdities of modern life". WWW has since released several singles and a live album recorded in Ghent on New Year's Eve 2019.
