[@danielgraham5907]

Was a pleasure to be there in the audience for this. Great experience. Richard was a class act. Came out before he was due to start when we were all queuing outside and shook our hands. Then afterwards had pictures done with all of us. Couldn't have asked for more. Phenomenal album as well.

[@Jules-ny2zi]

[@RicardoGonzalez-ff5om]

[@tbobrobbo3929]

Artists today come nowhere near Richard Ashcroft and a load others from the 90s,best decade for british muscians

[@johnfarenden6235]

best decade ever, LIFE

[@gentnextdoor]

True story

[@polly65ful]

Love it🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺😘😘😘

[@allisonchare4299]

Loved this bloke saw him a couple of years ago echo arena absolutely brilliant. Saw him in Nottingham couple of months ago and sorry to say didn’t get it at all. Didn’t get him. Love his music just didn’t get it wasted money and time.

[@danielkrysz9490]

Birds Fly has a ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ vibe. One Day, Rolling People... UH album is my early 20s.

[@amyjonestaylor9231]

AWWWW too cute !!! «I wanna walk the garden with Kate», his wife !

[@antonyhenshall5798]

Damon Minchella, X ocean colour scene and weller on bass 🤔🤔???

[@vincentquirke1556]

Correct

[@ThomWorth]

Looks like this drummer is a stand in. Richard is having to walk him through most of the structures throughout and also the tempo on Birds Fly.

[@simonperry8569]

Yeah, Ashcroft comes in too early on Birds. The drummer sounds like someone you'd hear in a pub, not a pro. I think because the mix is so dry on the drums, it makes it sound worse and there's no wiggle room.

[@moniqueschramm7821]

I Wanna life right now!!! ❤️

[@mizzdorampadilla1695]

Hey... you.My hand some Man Love ypu are beautiful.yo words are so beautiful.

[@123prestolee]

For the lovers.............................

[@yassirabj9577]

Was that Simon Jones?!!

[@tuffgonggbUNCTION]

ROCKER SOULJAH

[@blancamatamoros]

🎶🎵💎😍😘

[@mizzdorampadilla1695]

I wouldn't mind fo you.Mr Ashcroft

[@johnmcarthur6498]

See you in the barrowlands tonight Richard 👊👌✌

[@jayknight3625]

genius

[@markhoskins]

Sounds like a great performance but couldn't you spend more time on the mix??? Maybe pull the bass up a bit and add some ambience to elements other than Richard's voice??? The vocal on Birds Fly is awesome though!

[@27shocking]

Sounds unreal. Only bad thing is doing 4 songs and not more

[@123prestolee]

Just name a single male voice that comes within country mile of Mr Ashcroft.........answers on a postcard.

[@glynwilson]

just one, Tom Petty rip,

[@selmagarcia3987]

✌🇧🇷♥️

[@sandboud8820]

CHEERS

[@mizzdorampadilla1695]

Beautiful you my love

[@rossheathorn121]

Ashcroft is wicked, think I prefer him acoustic. Put in Ross Heathorn I got some ruff acoustic tunes on there. If you like this you might like them peace people x

[@Bric_Flair]

Packet

[@johngallacher]

Damon Minchella is cool as fuck.

[@GDDent]

Always think NG and RA songs sound better stripped back.

[@jamestimmins5303]

1 down siemingly I’m next

[@thomasedmundrichards]

I got noshed off to song for the lovers

[@xxnonstopdancingxx]

Flexibility is under rated

[@DBZ96587]

tom richardson Fuck off liar

[@johnfarenden6235]

yer by a bloke, ha,ha,ha,hee,hee,ha

[@thomasedmundrichards]

john farenden what’s wrong with a bloke noshing you off. So long as they suck and swallow it’s all good

[@thomasedmundrichards]

Rybackilicious you sound like either a jealous virgin who hasn’t had a blowie yet, or a tough guy keyboard warrior, still a virgin and bitter

[@indicatoker420]

Richard really ought to give that drummer a line of his shit. He really needs perking up somehow.

[@James_Hodgson]

Cracking Performance, but the mix is a bit crap

[@patrickkeegan1145]

Drumming is like listening to my garageband backing tracks...

[@marcusaloc]

Biblical

[@marki7857]

Suena horrible. ¿Quién mezcló el audio, Maluma? El baterista estaba tocando otras canciones...

[@mizzdorampadilla1695]

Am Not Playing U are . yes Love.Come get me Am 55
