Promoter, Giles Cooper of GCE Live said:
“We’re so excited to be promoting this show with Richard for Heritage LiveI remember seeing The Verve’s first ever London gig at the King’s Head pub in Fulham in 1991, when I worked at NME, with just ten people in the audienceIt culminated with Miles Leonard agreeing to sign them to Hut Records by the end of the night!
Thirty years later and Richard has stood the test of time, becoming one of rock’s truly iconic frontmenSo many classic tunes that everyone knows every lyric to, will make for a classic show, and to have Ocean Colour Scene on the bill too - this will be such a night to rememberWe can’t wait!”
