The Big Push - Powerful Rendition: Wade in the Water by Nina Simone (REACTION) 

Ren playing bass guitar like a lead guitar is pretty cool 👌

Let’s face it, I’ve seen Ren confidently play so many instruments now that it wouldn’t faze me if he brought out a video with him playing a harp. 😊 Yes, we are lucky in the UK because even in the small market town in Cheshire where I live, you regularly see buskers. I’m loving your reactions, by the way 👍

Don’t miss their final busking session on the streets of Brighton. Lonely boy and Paint it Black with Gorran on vocals and Ren on Bass.

Yes, second singer (and bass strap adjuster lol) is Gorran Kendall of the Big Push. Like Ren, Gorran has also been releasing a LOT of solo songs on RU-vid lately, seemingly one song per week.

Great reaction, to a great performance! :)

A much older performance with the boys, before drummer was added, is an original song by Goran and Ren and maybe including Romain, but they sing in his huge church. Two playing guitars and all singing. Keep a look out for what Ren brings in. The song is "Swan Song" the lyrics are a bit chilling to me. A sort of dystopian look into the present or the future.

The Big Push is made up of 3 co-lead various stringed & assorted instrument players /singers (Ren Gill, Romain Axisa & Gorran Kendall) & a drummer Glen Chambers who sometimes played with them. They met busking on the streets of Brighton, so they are all accomplished street musicians in addition to other talents. You can see signals they give each other if you know to look, a raising of a hand slightly to get attention, Ren dipping down to change tempos especially during the Shot the Sheriff mashup, them kneeling to give another member the floor, the drummer’s eyes locked on to the lead of the moment’s motions. They all can pretty much mash up any song on the spot if they can adjust the key & tempo. Sometimes only experienced musicians notice some of the small stuff they are all easily able to do but we all can enjoy the results. 💜

The Big Push broke up in 2022 when Ren left for Canada for his medical treatments, and besides Ren, Gorran and Romain have also moved on to solo careers. BUT there are strong whispers (maybe even shouts lol) of a reunion concert or two down the line, though those would probably be at a proper venue and not busking sessions.

Band is not playing together since Sept of 22. Everyone scattered and doing their own thing. There is talj of a reunion concert though. GORRAN is in Europe busking and traveling. Ren in Canada till June.

So raw and so brilliant! The Big Push and so amazing with so many great tracks. ( subbed for more )

This whole band is so amazing. I love seeing Gorran Kendall showing off his vocals! Gorran recently started busking abs playing again. He's a modern day Bob Dylan Neil Young type of singer. Romain Axisa on the lead guitar has a new album and is putting out such good music. I love this band so much. Would love reactions to Gorran and Romain!

I’ve never heard anyone play the bass like that before.

His the regular bass player 😊

Hey Simon. Great reaction! This is by far my favorite busking session video. Ren's vocals, the soul, the Jazzy vibe and the scatting. The flow state he gets in. This is Gorran's best vocal performance to me as well.

Gorran Kendal is the second singer, also part of the band. Please please please check out the big push - sympathy for the devil rolling stones cover and also an original song them called watch out live busking session. They're are my personal favourites 😊👍❤❤❤

People did pay on a voluntary basis to see the Big Push performing in the streets. As far as I know they were living of that money, Romain (the guy who let his guitar do the singing in the solo) even quit his job to do more busking.

hello dear!! great reaction to our man ren!! ren on bass is a treat to all the senses, if you agree check out 'why my woman' by the big push cuz it's ren making those bass lines run up and down my spine!!!!! in this vid, it is so sweet when gorran is helping ren with his strap and reaches up and rubs the back of his head, these guys are real mates!!! kathleen 🙃

Someone recently asked Gorran about this performance & he laughed and mimicked about how Ren plays bass very physically & it wasn’t the first strap he’d broken. Gorran carried extras because Ren is too ADHD to remember to even wipe himself (by his own admission) 😆

Watch Romain doing Georgia On My Mind 😁

Romain Axisa (lead guitar) has an awesome new britpop/tock song coming on Thursday. Gorran Kendall has been dropping new music regularly too, so both have new stuff on the horizon to check out. They're both such lovely guys.

🔥🤘🔥

Love how Ren likes the others to shine.

Although Nina Simone covered all 3 songs, none are her original songs.

Dope content but cannnn youuuu do conservative rap by Nick nittoli

He's the bass player, usually 😊
