The Cash Cows Family
We’re fortunate to be asked to play a great many shows. Sadly, we’ve not yet mastered the art of teleportation though we’re working on it.
In the meantime, we’re lucky to have a trusted circle of exceptional musicians who form part of The Cash Cows family. These are players we know well, perform with regularly, and trust implicitly to deliver the same musicality, energy, and atmosphere you can expect from us.
If one, or occasionally both of us are unavailable, we will always endeavour to connect you with one of our hand-picked associates, ensuring the experience remains unmistakably Cash Cows.
Robbie Humphries
Thrown onto the streets of South Manchester at fifteen with a guitar in hand and a case on the pavement, Robbie has carried his music around the world ever since.
A chance meeting at a Newcastle house party led to a busking session the very next day and The Cash Cows was born.
With over 10,000 hours on stage across more than two decades, he has written, produced, and performed everywhere from intimate rooms to international stages and can always be relied upon for one more tune..
Brendan Rowley
Since starting on the double bass at the tender age of 9 Brendan has played with dozens of bands, orchestras ensembles. In a myriad different genres, he has performed on 5 continents and played more shows than most people have had hot dinners.
He writes and produces original music under the moniker Brendan Rowdy. Collaborates on a Drum n Bass outfit called Rowdy Touch and is currently recording and collaborating with pop singer Ivy Irons.
Since forming The Cash Cows with Robbie in 2004 the dynamic duo have played every kind of weird and wonderful gig you can possibly imagine. And they just keep on coming!
MEG Cavanaugh
London-based American chanteuse Meg has toured internationally as a vocalist and songwriter. She has released two solo albums, toured as the female vocalist for Matt Bianco, and works as a jazz singer in London.
She brings the vibes to every show and can currently be found fronting The Lady Petrol Band. As a solo artist and vocalist, she has played internationally and locally at Ronnie Scotts, The Blue Note (Tokyo, Milan, Nygoya), The Jazz Cafe, Soho House and festivals in Switzerland, Austria, Budapest and many more.
Ritchie McCabe
Ritchie is a true professional, a safe pair of hands, and has been wowing crowds at festivals, bars, pubs, clubs, theatres and weddings for 20 years and counting. Playing a wide range of popular covers from the 50’s up to present day, Ritchie’s versatility makes him a perfect deputy for Robbie and a force all on his own. Excellent song choices, expert guitar work and his love of everything musical all combine to provide an energetic and unforgettable performance.
His musical highlights include regular shows at Edinburgh Festival; Cork Jazz Festival; Londons 100 Club; and a performance at the 2012 Olympics. We are lucky to have Richie in The Cash Cows Family. A safe pair of hands who can always get the party jumping!
