Richard Ashcroft FULL Performance LIVE | Radio X Session | Radio X

The Verve frontman performed an exclusive gig in front of an intimate Radio X crowd at London's Hammersmith Working Mens Club. The Richard Ashcroft live performance included the tracks Bittersweet Symphony, A Song For The Lovers, Birds Fly, Surprised By The Joy, and They Don't Own Me. It's one of Richard Ashcroft's best vocal performances, and stripped back and acoustic. Suffice to say, it's absolutely epic.

Love It. Richard Ashcrofts Music & his vibe are what we need to hear in july 2024. 😎🎶🕺💃🫶🇬🇧🎵

[@duanehurn6923]

Bob Marley is hailed a prophecy for his words in reggae music, Tupac for his words in rap music, Richard Ashcroft is a prophet in his words through Brit Rock music....in my opinion. Thank you for the music, the soul, the heart. Richard. Loved seeing you recently at Boro Town Hall. Looking forward to our next meet brother.

The more I listen to this guy the more I respect him and appreciate his raw emotion and soulful tones ! Great writer and singer . His guitar playing is so consistent and is not overpowered by the electric! Great music!

[@ComplicatedCupcake]

Every now and then, you see his bandmates look at him with the same awe as we do. Amazing talent. Loads of love to Richard Ashcroft and his life!

[@betsybk11]

Honestly I don't know what this hippie chick me would do without Richards music to help me through each day! This was before covid... I always thought he has a very blessed wife & almost adult kids now! I would give anything to go to one of Richards concerts! But I am all the way in the North Carolina Smoky Mountains USA.

[@graziaguerrini6375]

His voice has changed, he was only 19 when he started singing professionally and inevitably his voice has become deeper with the age( he also used to smoke a lot ) but I have always loved his voice, in the nineties : in my opinion it was just right for the sound of the Verve. He’s always been a magnificent singer and his voice is a gift from Heaven.

As a drummer, I'd have loved to have heard the drummer use a different snare sound, or different snare all together. Got a huge ring on it and would have made the live performance so much better with a rock sound, any drummers out there agree or disagree??
