Acoustic ballads, indie-rock anthems, soulful beats and celebrity admirers abound in the world of Richard Ashcroft, former frontman and sole songwriter for alternative rock band The Verve.

Ashcroft went solo a quarter of a century ago. Since then, he’s established himself as a major player on the UK music scene, with Coldplay’s Chris Martin hailing him “the best singer in the world”. 

His Birmingham appearance - following on from supporting his pals Noel and Liam Gallagher on their Oasis tour - comes just a handful of months after the release of his seventh studio album, Lovin’ You.
