The singer is excited to bring the band's political music on tour after an eight year break Curiously
The lead singer of an outspoken band said he admires Scousers for "not taking any bull****"" ahead of performing in Liverpool later this year.
He added: “I thought, if people are still up for it and because it felt really good to play these songs, maybe we should have a look. I spoke to my tour agent as things started opening up and asked, do you think anyone will give a s***? And he said, let’s find out.” Furthermore, the city’s maritime and musical history remain strong draws for him. He said: “I’ve always loved the city, I always feel like it was quite romantic as a port city. It feels like there’s stuff going on, people coming in, you could get on a ship and go somewhere.Despite Richard's self-described "stupid optimism" on life, he said many of the issues the band raised in their heyday have not been addressed.
Much of this stemmed from the prominence of celebrity culture, which Richard struggled to recognise. He said: “No-one’s earning money to be able to go out and do the things you want to do. Richard argued that music is about much more than just trying to make it big. He said: “It’s about the other things it gives you. The way you can analyse a piece, the way you can spend time getting lost in a piece of music. It feels like the Government we have doesn’t value it.”
