If you want to see more of The Big Push, check out the video titled "I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hip Hop". The one with Ren in the red suspenders. It's a big mash up live performance on the street.
Another of their songs you would enjoy is a Sting cover of An Englishman in NY, they did it in their apartment.. same vibe. This was a cover of a Manu Chau song. The Uke player is French.. so, yes, it was French. All of The Big Push songs are great - you’ll enjoy them as a break from REN’s more intense solo songs. Thanks for your enthusiasm…
Okay! So if you like this I highly suggest more Ren & The Big Push especially their “I Shot the Sheriff” medley - but be sure to do the “red suspenders” version. You’ll love all of Ren. He’s a musical genius. Don’t think we’re going to see another one like him in this lifetime. ❤
The rooftop is the apartment building that Ren and Romain (the ukulele player) lived in. Their flat is through the window behind Gorran's (the bass player) shoulder.
Another great reaction. You were actually correct in identifying the ukulele; it is a pineapple ukulele, to be more precise. "The Big Push" busking sessions, concerts, and live recordings all are amazing and well worth checking out. The members of "The Big Push" are all independent solo artists who struck up a friendship, moved in together, and formed the band. Ren Gill, Gorran Kendall, and Romain Axisa take turns singing lead vocals at times, except for the drummer Glen Chambers who is not playing in this performance. However, each of the band members is currently focusing on a solo career due to Ren's absence. Here is the link to their YT channel: www.youtube.com/@TheBigPushBand The band, at least for the time being, performed their last official busking session and gave their last concert in September 2022 due to the fact that Ren was leaving for Canada to undergo specialized medical care and surgeries for his multiple health issues. I believe they did record some songs yet to be released. No telling what the future holds for them, individually or as a group. Their covers of "I Shot The Sheriff/Road To Zion/Hip Hop," "Wade in the Water/Nina Simone/Trouble So Hard," "Watch Out," “War Pigs,” “Roadhouse Blues,” "My Generation," “Paint It Black,” "An Englishman in New York," “Bongo Bong,” and many others are all awesome. On “These boots are made for walking’/Satisfaction/Everybody,” “Praise You” (Fatboy Slim Cover), and “What Kind Of Woman Is This,” all three take a turn singing. Their original songs "Oh My Woman," “Swan Song,” “Sweet Little Lady," "It's Alright," “Dignity,” “Watch Out” and so many others are equally impressive. Gorran Kendall is a singer/songwriter/busker from the UK. He plays the bass, electric and acoustic guitar, the harmonica, and frequently sings lead for "The Big Push." As a solo artist, he is a folk singer, and his music is reminiscent of 60s folk. I love Gorran's music. Here is the link to his YT channel: www.youtube.com/@GorranKendall Romain Axisa is a singer/songwriter/busker originally from Toulouse, France, where he started playing the guitar at age 12. At age 14, he was the singer in a rock band and later became a rapper. He plays guitar, bass, piano, and the ukulele (pineapple ukulele) featured in the song "Bongo Bong." In addition, Romain sings lead on a few "The Big Push" songs. His solo music is unique, and I don't know what genre it would be categorized as. I really enjoy his music as well. Here is the link to his YT channel: www.youtube.com/@RomainAxisa I would highly recommend watching/listening to their song "Dignity." Not only is it a beautiful song but the accompanying music video offers the audience an intimate view into their day-to-day on and off-stage interaction. It's almost like being there with them in their home, on the streets, and on stage. It is one of my favorite videos and has been very underappreciated and overlooked by most reactors and fans alike. Here is the link to the video: th-cam.com/video/3E37nzXX-4g/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, try English Man in New York, by The Big Push, or Power, by Ren, both are also uplifting. Also the loose translation of the French lyrics is totally off of the rest of the "happy vibe" haha. It's a mix roughly of "I don't love you anymore my dear," and, "sometimes I wonder what it would be like to die"
Hell Yeah !!! First, and First... First to view and First to Comment... WOOHOO !!! 😄😄 Love this song. Both the original and this are MASTERPIECES IMO 😉
This song is a masterclass of friends just hanging out and killing it.... And yes, Romaine is french so that is what you heard. Ren and Romaine and Gorran, all have amazing vocals and amazing guitar skills. You can't go wrong with Big Push.
This was filmed in Brighton That space thing is a 360 degree viewing tower owned by British Airways set on Brighton sea front Tis roof was also used for the first scene in murderer and also in the video Losing it When Ren was spitting triple time holding the Insta 360 camera on a 10 foot selfie stick
This was at their place in Brighton during lockdown. Their lockdown videos are magnificent too. Uninvited, Love Music part4 are pretty happy too ☺ btw it's a lute
If you want a fun upbeat song, do The Big Push "Sweet Little Lady" - Original MV, or live acoustic version... or both? Edit: this was filmed during lockdown. Three of them were flatmates at the time, and prob did LIVE on that roof, as they could not go anywhere... LOL
Yes Ren and the big push but please please do "what you want" its just Ren not the band but I know you will love who its paying tribute too. Its a make ya want to boogie!
So fun. You were right initially; it's a ukulele (4 usually nylon strings), not a mandolin (8 usually metal strings). The Big Push's busking medley of "I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip-hop" or "War Pigs" are great. Actually all 5he videos from the Ren-in-red-suspenders day are awesome.
I have an apartment which is 1 minute away from where a-lot of Ren videos are filmed. The structure you see at the end is the Brighton i360 observation tower. 😊
Yes yes yes. That's what I said... that song always gets me movin I love it. I always wonder at the end when they are all dancing are some of those people just random strangers who just joined in? The lady parading the guitar cracks me up
Everything they do is great. Try I Shot the Sheriff/ road to Zion/ hip hop, wade in the water/ Nina Simone/ trouble so hard, Englishman In New York, sweet little lady (plus the live version) Swan song Also REN Losing it The hunger Genesis (and the live) Murderer (and the live) Illest of our time Love music 1,2,3 and 4
Definitely not as emotionally heavy as the last couple of songs. This is very upbeat and dare I say, joyful? Either way, it was a fun song to listen to. I'm a little behind with your reactions...been busy lately. Well, on to the next one! Cheers!

Full title of the video is "The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop" and it's on The Big Push channel.
this is a must to do❤

Great reaction! This is one of my favorites of The Big Push, along with "Praise You" (Fat Boy Slim cover). It always puts me in a good mood. ❤
The Big Push “I shot the sheriff/road to Zion/ hip hop” the 1 where Ren is in red suspenders. There busking live on the street.
One of my favorites! Gorran cleans up nicely!❤And the “ukulele guy” is Romain Axisa, amazing French artist. Please listen to some of his solo stuff😊

One that gets little attention is Big Push "Swan Song" I have so many favourites but this one is special for me.
Hell Yeah !!! First, and First... First to view and First to Comment... WOOHOO !!! 😄😄 Love this song. Both the original and this are MASTERPIECES IMO 😉
😁😂🤣…that is hilarious!! I wish I had a winners prize!!!,🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@chasalbert5113 lol 😂, your reaction is all the prize I need 🏆😁👍

Hey,
If you need a spooky (but also funny) song for Helloween, I would recommend "Children of the Moon" by Ren.
Ok thanks Celticfrost!! 💪💪
Omg that song is a creeper for sure. As creepy as it is I couldn't stop watching it lol.
Ren & Liv Sangster live studio session is probably the best jamming session ive ever seen. Livs voice is incredible.
Love love love this song, great reaction, thank you 🦉🙏❤️🐊👍
This was during lockdown, 3 members of the band shared a flat in Brighton.
Yes Ren and the big push but please please do "what you want" its just Ren not the band but I know you will love who its paying tribute too. Its a make ya want to boogie!
4.55......no, man, you were right the first time! Most definitely a ukulele!!!!!! No doubts about it!
Well that is a first!! :) Thanks a million for the comment!!
So fun. You were right initially; it's a ukulele (4 usually nylon strings), not a mandolin (8 usually metal strings). The Big Push's busking medley of "I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip-hop" or "War Pigs" are great. Actually all 5he videos from the Ren-in-red-suspenders day are awesome.
his newest "Uninvited" is dope
They were in Brighton at the time. City by the sea in South East England. Cheers.
It's a soprano or C-minor Ukulele. Romain the ukulele player mentioned it in one of his live stream videos.
Oh so I am not idiot??😁😂…well ..yeah I am still an idiot I was just a correct idiot for ounce! 💪😂😁
Enjoying your channel! ❤
Upbeat songs - definitely Power, Uninvited, Love Music parts 3 & 4, and Murderer
I have an apartment which is 1 minute away from where a-lot of Ren videos are filmed. The structure you see at the end is the Brighton i360 observation tower. 😊
If uou want upbeat you need - What You Want. 😊
Yes yes yes. That's what I said... that song always gets me movin I love it. I always wonder at the end when they are all dancing are some of those people just random strangers who just joined in? The lady parading the guitar cracks me up
@Lift_Eachother_Up some of them definitely were. The old bloke clapping along, clearly was disappointed it had stopped.
Awesome❤Great reaction Chas appreciate you
Thanks Donald!🙏🏻🙏🏻..much love.
Think this was the same roof where the start of murderer was filmed, they climb in the window into rens bedroom I thinkkkk
This is on the flat roof at their flat in Brighton, same one the beginning of murderer was filmed on I believe
French.Romaine Axisa is french
And an awesome guitarist and singer, he does great solo busking as well.
Ren's video Murderer was filmed on this rooftop also!
That same roof top is used in the most recent Ren video "Murderer". :)
It is ukulele, not a mandolin! You were right the 1st time ! 😊😊
Everything they do is great. Try
I Shot the Sheriff/ road to Zion/ hip hop,
wade in the water/ Nina Simone/ trouble so hard,
Englishman In New York,
sweet little lady (plus the live version)
Swan song
Also REN
Losing it
The hunger
Genesis (and the live)
Murderer (and the live)
Illest of our time
Love music 1,2,3 and 4
Have a listen to their song All My Heroes, studio version is best 😁
Think it's the roof of his apartment block just like In murderer
You need to give the original, Manu Chao, a listen. He's the busker's busker.
Yeah that is what everyone is saying..I will certainly give it a listen!!
Definitely not as emotionally heavy as the last couple of songs. This is very upbeat and dare I say, joyful? Either way, it was a fun song to listen to. I'm a little behind with your reactions...been busy lately. Well, on to the next one! Cheers!
not a mando, which has doubled strings tuned like a violin, a uke with four strings tuned like a guitar
Good info..🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That is not a Mandolin, it is in fact a ukulele.
Well, I am still an idiot!! :) I just got it right!! Thanks for the comment Jeremy.
