Whilst his peers worked the celebrity circuit, Ashcroft quietly, reclusively, worked away; making lyrically outstanding, breathtakingly brlliant, hauntingly melancholy and poignantly beautiful records that make him the voice of his generation and one of the most criminally underrated artists in history. Love and best wishes to all.🎵🎸🎶.

[@davidfoley9502]

Absolutely so underrated

[@michaelgregos2743]

Listening to Richard Ashcroft’s voice is so comforting. Feels like going home after a long absence

[@gmc3155]

Richard Ashcroft Taught me how to play Guitar With the Lucky Man Video & a Printed copy of the words from the Youth Center With a Letter for the Chord above the words with a diagram of black dots on Stings like Tab only with dots not Numbers, So He will Always be part of My Musical Life Forever! "One Love to The Verve, Richard Ashcroft & the Real People of World from Bonnie Scotland" ☝️ ♥️ 🌍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙏

[@_tonyperoni_]

the greatest singer/performer/ songwriter of a generation. Totally and utterly mind blowing. The king. Sir Dicky Ashcroft.

[@trayc2762]

Absolutely agree wholeheartedly. Whilst his peers worked the celebrity circuit, Ashcroft quietly, reclusively, worked away; making lyrically outstanding, breathtakingly brlliant, hauntingly melancholy and poignantly beautiful records that make him the voice of his generation and one of the most criminally underrated artists in history. Best wishes Tx.

[@hunterthompson2206]

His voice has really evolved since the first couple of Verve albums. He was always dynamic but he's much more subtle and refined now. Nice.

[@seandyson1677]

Legendary

[@paulmclaughlan3204]

One of the few real musicians. A real bloke with his finger on the pulse. Makes me feel happy. Love the man!!!!

This version of song for the lovers was our first dance Special special man ❤️

[@cristinadiazabella1553]

"Sonnet" is one of my favorite songs of him. Just consider this song one of the best of the 90's. This makes me think that I'm growing old ;) But the magic is that when you listen to some bands you feel ageless.

[@cristinadiazabella1553]

I understand your point of vue... ;) BUT my point of vue comes from my vision. And each has its own vision of things. Ибо мудрость мира есть безумие пред Богом

He’s Brilliant. He sings songs of hope and Joy in a World of pain. Music is food for the Soul. There’s a lot of music around with racism and hate. I’ve never understood it. Why are people so ignorant in the 21st century. It’s madness.

Actual talent,in contrast to the saccharine mediocrity produced by the x factor.

[@ZanzibarBreeze]

Unfortunately his talent doesn't extend to being able to strum more than 4 chords on a guitar.

[@revleonid]

Like your mom

[@Jimmywilliams_]

Zanzibar Breeze unfortunately its not the cords, its the words you put with them... robbie Williams fan page that way 👉

[@ZanzibarBreeze]

Daniel Jimmy Williams Ironic as Ashcroft does remind me of Robbie Williams with the dirge he puts out these days. Hold On? Yep, that could totally be a Williams song.

[@Jimmywilliams_]

Zanzibar Breeze have you heard his new album?

[@csyddyj40]

sonnet solo suena bien con Nick.

Love this guy. Why the Black and White though?!
