\n The Together Forever singer performed on the Main Stage to an audience of thousands and was certainly a highlight of the day.\n<\/p>\n
\n Speaking to both the County Press and Vectis Radio ahead of his performance, Rick told us about how the world of streaming has opened up his music to a wider audience of younger people, notably his biggest hit, Never Gonna Give You Up.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe internet has provided this environment where all songs get listened to by kids,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIf you think about having a record collection, you never wanted to listen to what your mum and dad or your grandad listen to.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWhereas now, I think kids find music from all different kind of periods and decades and everything.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThat\u2019s pretty amazing.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n This year\u2019s festival marked Rick\u2019s second trip across the Solent, a follow-up to his 2019 Isle of Wight Festival appearance.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt was amazing,\u201d he said about the last time he performed at Seaclose Park.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt was a gorgeous sunny day.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt\u2019s quite nerve-wracking because it’s filmed and I don’t care what anybody says, that just heightens the whole kind of thing.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt\u2019s a magical thing to come over on the boat.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Rick is no stranger to love, and now he is no stranger to the Isle of Wight – we can only hope he comes back soon.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201c[The festival] has got vibe to it, definitely. It\u2019s a really good day.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Together Forever singer performed on the Main Stage to an audience of thousands and was certainly a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":653728,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[96,128,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-653727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/653727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=653727"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/653727\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/653728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=653727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=653727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=653727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
