Guitarist in Shock Wedding Announcement

Former Perico playboy and current guitarist Richard "Richo" Oldfield, last week announced the impending nuptials with Japanese hearthrob Aki. The news sent shockwaves through Brunswick as various pubs and bars began jockeying for the right to host the big event.

Local sushi bar owner Pauline Thwat, said that she expected the wedding to be a lavish affair and told pericoloco that she would be ecstatic to be selected as caterer, but knew that "competetion for this will be as vicious as one of those circle things".

Victorian state Treasurer, John Lenders expected that the wedding would provide a boost to the state similar to the Grand Prix's contribution to state finances and culture.

Richo joins a long list of famous musicians to marry Japanese women, including John Lennon Jimmy Barnes and Sugizo, although the last bloke is actually Japanese so that's not really surprising.

To celebrate, Perico will perform this Sunday afternoon at the Brunswick Green from 5pm in the official Engagement Party.
