Last week saw the Brit & Ivor Novello Award winning & Grammy nominated artist announce two special intimate live dates in support of the album, on 14^th May at Albert Hall in Manchester and 16^th May at the Roundhouse in London, both of which sold out within 25 minutes of going on-sale.

Recorded in London, These People was produced by Richard and longtime collaborator Chris Potter, as well as marking a reunion with Wil Malone, who worked with Richard on the string arrangements on the seminal albums by The Verve A Northern Soul (1995), Urban Hymns (1997), and his platinum-selling and critically lauded debut solo album Alone with Everybody (2000).

Equally channelling his classic output and exploring adventurous new sounds, textures and themes, and graced by one of the most singular and unforgettable voices in British music, These People reaffirms him as one of the most defining and prodigious songwriters of his generation.
