in fairness, being able to sing doesn't even bother me. You are commenting on a youtube video of the set. Being there, having a beer in the sun listening to the music is what it's all about. Don't think many people there cared if his vocals weren't pitch perfect.
That's..quite..bad. He's voice is similar to mine, and that's why I'm an IT guy. When you sing you're supposed to keep or raise your accent, he's let it fall way below working class.
Maybe he had a problem with his voice or something ..I dont want to think that he pretend to be a lead singer whith this shitie voice...this song is amazing
My God, I never want to see Hard-Fi live... Ever. Is he high or something? His voice keeps breaking on the higher notes and his accent changes with some words...
sounds not great + it would be seriously loud there and they'd all be loving it. There is a clip of Hard fi in front of a small club crowd in Ibiza, so the jump to T in park must be enormous & no wonder he is a bit hyper! And he is from Slough. So, all in all, not bad and at least he recognises there is an audience there and tries to interact. I like the fact he borrowed the wig from Edmund Black Adder too. Cool song.
@litlmystro i think the reason why richard's voice sounds awful is cuz he was nervous if you listen at 3:00 & at 4:19 he keeps repeating the word "pressure" i'm guessing he was under pressure to perform, you mustn't forget it can be nerve wrecking for artists to perform in front of thousands of people at concerts.
I'm not saying that's the reason why his voice is awful maybe he is shit live really but throughout the song he is shouting a lot to psyche himself up cuz he was probably nervous.
@neutralview: That's a really awful and illogical explanation for it.
I think you'd probably find the reason it sounds awful is because they used too many Pro Tools in the studio and he can't physically sing like that in real life.
Dady, you are wonderful, beautiful, Richard Archer you are the best,handsome, amazing,the best singer and music, HARD-FI is the best band now, Thank you so much Richard

they lowered the key, probably cuz he cant sing live in the key they recorded it, but i agree, this is quite bad.
