Richard Ashcroft was awesome when he opened for Coldplay in Toronto a few years ago. He told us that night he hoped to return to Toronto soon. He never did return for a solo tour. But all is forgiven now he is returning with The Verve. Got my Tix for May 1st
Last time I saw The Verve was 1994 at Wolverhampton Wulfren Hall. (Oasis was the support band and yes I am an old git)
