WATCH: Ricky Warwick set for 2021 Limelight date

Ricky Warwick has released the second single from his first studio album in five years ‘When Life Was Hard And Fast’.

Along with his band The Fighting Hearts he has announced a UK tour for April/May 2021 with a date in Belfast’s Limelight on 6 May 2021.

The new single is titled ‘You Don’t Love Me’ and features a guest guitar solo from the inimitable Luke Morley of Thunder who also makes an appearance in the video. It’s a direct song with a direct meaning that tackles the all too familiar feeling of realising someone doesn’t feel the same about you as you do about them. You can check out the video for ‘You Don’t Love Me’ here:

It’s been an honor to be asked to partner and contribute to this record.”
