Fresh off supporting Liam Gallagher at King Georges Hall in Blackburn last night The Iiicits frontman George Richards joined me to talk about the gig but also their latest single play your part which was released yesterday. The four-piece band from Blackburn formed in 2016 and have since gone from strength to strength supporting Liam on more than one occasion. Last night was the second time I saw these lads play live with the last time being at Manchester Arena in 2019 when they also supported Liam. But last night felt like an extra special occasion, especially for George and his bandmates who consist of Brad Hayes (lead guitar), Joe Mitchell (bass) and Matt Cottam (drums). This was their chance to put Blackburn on the map and give back to their dedicated fans who have supported them along the way but also open a new audience’s ears to their sound and they certainly didn’t disappoint. On this episode we spoke about the importance of hard work and being organic as well as what it meant to be the chief support at an event that was done in conjunction with Blackburn homeless charity Nightsafe. I really enjoyed speaking to George and listening to their new single which you can find on all major streaming sites. The lads are also currently in the middle of a UK tour which you can find tickets for here: https://www.ents24.com/uk/tour-dates/the-illicits Thanks for your time mate and keep on ‘Playing your part’.
