25 May 2025 RICHARD ASHCROFT headline set (SMR 25 Festival) Usual closer song -BITTER SWEET SYMPHONY

25 May 2025 RICHARD ASHCROFT headline set (SMR 25 Festival) Usual closer song - BITTER SWEET SYMPHONY *Happy to just find out back in 2019 when Ashcroft won his 2nd Ivor Novello award, for Outstanding Contribution To British Music, he revealed that royalties for The Verve’s Bitter Sweet Symphony have been returned to the band by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. The 1997 track samples an orchestral cover of The Rolling Stones’ The Last Time, which was recorded by Andrew Loog Oldham. Although the license for a five-note segment had been granted to The Verve, former Stones manager Allen Klein contended that the Britrock band had voided the agreement by using a larger section of the song. Klein, who heads label ABKCO, sued The Verve successfully, attaining all credits for Bitter Sweet Symphony and giving Jagger and Richards writing credits for the track. Ashcroft’s management worked up a winning strategy and successfully appealed to the Rolling Stones duo for the return of royalties. Ashcroft and the band will also be attributed with full writing credits for Bitter Sweet Symphony. Read Ashcroft’s statement here: “It gives me great pleasure to announce Mick Jagger and Keith Richards agreed to give me their share of the song Bitter Sweet Symphony. This remarkable and life-affirming turn of events was made possible by a kind and magnanimous gesture from Mick and Keith, who have also agreed that they are happy for the writing credit to exclude their names and all their royalties derived from the song they will now pass to me.” #RichardAshcroft #theverve #bittersweetsymphony #smrofficial
