Guitarist Nick Mccabe And Photographer Chris Floyd Revisit The Verve’s 1997 Masterpiece.
Twenty years ago, Urban Hymns propelled The Verve from former space-rock longhairs, whose singer talked a good game, into the biggest group in the country that didn’t have a member with the surname Gallagher.
Now reissued as a deluxe box set featuring B-sides and live performances, including their 33,000-capacity homecoming show at Haigh Hall, Urban Hymns went on to sell more than 10 million copies and remains the 18th best-selling album in UK chart history.
“We knew it wasn’t going to fail,” recalls guitarist Nick McCabe. “We were riding a wave of confidence and we knew what we were doing was good. It’s quite a rare thing, when you know you’re making a record that’s going to be huge.”

George Michael
George Michael died at home on Christmas morning and the world gasped. Everyone has a favourite song written by him, either with Wham! or as an all-conquering solo artist. Adrian Deevoy remembers the highly intelligent, emotionally deep and hilarious man he interviewed several times in his pomp.
Happy Together
There was a brief moment between The xx’s second LP and the recording of their new third LP, when – for the first time since they were kids – the three best friends in the band didn’t see each other.
