He definitely has the IT factor. You can tell he lives in the music. It's his happy place. Unbelievable. Everything he does. ❤❤ much love Ken.

The Big Push made magic. REN is a chameleon of vast talent and creativity. Gorran has got some Bass chops for sure. Romain is an axman of great skill and a composer in his own right. Thank you for reacting to this little gem 💎 X

An Englishman, a Welshman, a Frenchman.... And a Dog... In ? Brighton?

If you loved this, you should also check out their cover of "Bongo Bong" (originally by Manu Chau) That song fills me with so much serotonin and their harmonies are spot on!

Ren just lives and breathes music. Such passion, such a genius ❤

Love Ren anyway he decides to present himself. His solo stuff is amazing; his work with The Big Push - outstanding, and his various duets (Chinchilla, Sam, Eden - and more) also all great. I hope you consider reacting to him from time to time.. I’ll definitely be watching when you do!!

If you want to hear the bassist (Gorran) sing, I suggest giving 'Wade in the water' a go (still by the big push). That song's an automatic serotonin fill for me

The Big Push is always immaculate vibes. Whatever Ren performs he does it with his whole soul, that's why i suggest the "Wade in the water/Nina Simone/Troubled so hard" mashup like the others.

You should listen to The Big Push Bongo Bong ! Another live performance video ! ❤

Bongo bong is a wonderful cover by the big push. Lovely reaction.❤

Watch them do their own song It's Alright 😁

The bass player is Gorran Kendall, the other guitarist is Romain Axisa and the drummer (not in this video) is Glenn Chambers.

I'd love your reaction to their "Wade In The Water" busking compilation. ❤

Awesome reaction! Knew you'd love this! One of my favorites. I hope The Big Push reunites down the line. True magic! Ren is truly special. He embodies every piece of music he performs.💖🙋‍♀️

Watching Ren become music is amazing but he really makes it look so easy when it can't happen without years of practice. That's why theses guys are so good. Individually they could all be the lead but they work together for the love of the music. I really hope they at least do a reunion concert... finding them after they've already broken up seems tragic.

Ren's abilities bloom even more when he's collaborating with all of the other talented folks we see him with. He's still identifiable as uniquely Ren, while melding into different parameters.

Praise You, Dignity, and Precious by The Big Push are all excellent and lighter. Praise You is a fatboy slim EDM cover in a Beatles style. The other two are original songs (not rap, all singing). Their choral song Swan Song is almost a madrigal! And Ren plays a melodica. 😂

❤ love this.... thank you so much...

I love the color of Rens voice..Its soo easy on the ears and on the soul..

great reaction. You should do the big push - Swan Song. You'll apreciate the vocals in that one so much...

I agree with Robert, your requester, I really enjoy your channel. I love almost everything Ren does as a solo artist, and I love absolutely everything he did with the Big Push.

Thank you 🙏❤ Ken Lavigne ❤ for your 🎸🎸🎸🥁 The Big Push - Englishman In New York reaction! #thebigpush #sting #ren #rengill #gorrankendall #romainaxisa #glennchambers #englishmaninnewyork

Ren and TBP are absolutely outstanding. Please try “Dignity”. It’s amazing and beautiful

Love Ren, love The Big Push. I’m willing them back together ❤😂

Great reaction Ken and what a phenomenal band to react to they are! I never thought I'd ever hear music and musicians as good as the bands of the 60s and up to the mid-70s again, but The Big Push are so exciting, so original, so innovative, so skilled and so extraordinarily musical. And utterly brilliant Ren, well, he's done the impossible and even made me love rap - a magnificent artist and balladeer of our times. It will be so interesting to see where he'll go next...

Ren!!!! Yay!! Have you done any chinchilla? Fingers live for hunger tv, anazing piano too. Or duet with ren chalk outlines or how to be me. L9ve your reactions!

The Big Push are incredible. Ren just embodies music. He goes into a flow state with each performance and it’s a beautiful sight. I would love it if you would react to Wade in the water/ Nina Simone/ trouble so hard And Swan Song Both by TBP. Also here’s some info 🖤 THE BIG PUSH 🥁🎸🎤🎵 REN (Welsh) - vocals, acoustic, electric, bass mostly Romain Axisa (French) - vocals, acoustic, electric, bass mostly Gorran Kendall (English) - vocals, acoustic, electtic, bass mostly Glenn Chambers (Irish) - drums mostly The Big Push formed in 2017. Initially being Ren, Romain and Gorran with Glenn joining later to play drums. Gorran and Romain met busking, Romain and Ren then met through Facebook while Ren was trying to find a flat mate. They would all busk together and Glenn would sit in as drummer while also playing bass with another friend Rafa. They then decided to become a band and would take to the streets of Brighton and also created masterpieces of their own. They played numerous gigs including a sold out tour of the U.K. and also released a 6 track EP called “Can Do Will Do”. They busked together for the last time on 14th December 2022 and played their final gig at the Brighton Dome a short while later. Having to go on hiatus due in part to Ren moving to Canada for medical treatment and their lives going in different directions. Although they remain good friends and Ren and Romain have mentioned wanting to play together again.

Nice reaction ❤ Please check out The Big Push cover Praise You

Ren survives his illness through his musical gifts and so do we!! I’m excited about his upcoming new album. We love him!!

More REN and The Big Push! Enjoyed this!

The courage to cover that song is commendable...stings version is a masterpiece

You’d probably love their Praise You cover too - they have footie tambourines!

Sting really oughta give him some praise, it's well deserved

Ren is so refreshing and amazing ❤❤❤. The Big Push are awesome.. so much talent. Love them all. 💕

Love this tune! Looking forward to catching your show soon

What a treat! Charisma is right.

Ken, any moment spent with you is a moment well spent.

Bongo Bingo Bango Yay

I agree that Ren is in the moment and feeling the music. I have yet to see a performance where he isn't. If you liked this performance, may I recommend The Big Push on the rooftop of their flat singing Bongo Bong or The Big Push in a subway tunnel singing Praise You. I love the harmonies in both songs. Thank you!

This whole song and the video is such a vibe 😎💜

In "Praise you" retake by the big push you can hear them sing individually. Its another banger to me

Great reaction ❤

Bongo Bong please❤❤❤ similar hambient, beautiful performance!

#RenMakesMusic #Ren #TheBigPush 🔥🔥!! 🌎❤️

I would definitely recommend Praise you cover by The Big Push. They put a great spin on that song too. They're a bunch of talented musicians ❤️

Judging by the way you appreciate Ren and The Big Push, you might be interested in the musical trilogy of Ren called Jenny's Tale, Screech's Tale and Violet's Tale. Those are musical masterpieces. Much love

Those guys are wonderful together, really hope they all come tougher again in one pla ce!

Great reaction, it's just a chill song that requires sitting back, smiling and enjoying. Plus, there's a dog. Winning.

Thanks Ken, brilliant as always! ❤❤the reaction & can't wait to hear more.✌.

Yeah, this is cool😤

❤❤❤

Te chłopaki żyją muzyką. Brawo😊❤

loved this! you're so right about how he performs. i highly recommend you check out his new 'back on 74/message in a bottle retake'- his voice sounds incredible and there's amazing backing singers on it too.

I love the irony of such a good rendition of “Englishman in New York” being performed by a group consisting of a French man, a Welsh man and, yes, an English man!😂 Ten just seems to draw hugely talented people into his orbit (Goran and Romain are excellent sole performers in their own right). Aside from the Big Push you have Ren’s collaborations with Chinchilla, Sam Tomkins and Eden Nash - all brilliant as well.

Love you Ken and your reactions! Thanks for doing this! Appreciate it! 🙂

You will like Ren , Bongo bong

Nice choice. Thanks for this reaction.

Ren seems supernatural.

Hi to see the bug push singing ability you must do Swan song it's absolutely beautiful 😍

One of my favorites by Ren and The Big Push !!❤😊

Check out Rens 1st band Trick the Fox, he was young but still had the It factor.

Excellent again..

This reminded me of the RCA Beagel dog from years ago to advertise their album players.

❤✌

❤❤

😃👍👍👍👏👏👏🙋‍♀️🤝

Ren is an alien

It's not just Ren--- Goren and Romain are incredibly talented as well. They all do everything-- easily tossing guitars and bass and lead vocals between them. Ren has two new collabs with Chinchilla coming out in March or April, also 2 other collabs and I think some solo stuff. He's prolific as hell!

Check out Swan Song. Gorran Kendall and Romain Axisa also have great solo stuff. I’d go It All Feels Old for Romain. A favorite Gorran song of mine is “If”. The live version where he unintentionally frightens children in a park. ❤

Little Staff has the same cute behind as both my bulterriërs who loved music as well. Still miss those silly hooligans.

The dogs' name has to be "Patch"?

The dog could be like Louie/ Lou Dog from Sublime. 😁

Great reaction! The Big Push are absolutely amazing. Check out Swan Song ❤❤

🪽🤍🪽

Great cover. Cute dog. Epic marijuana patch behind the couch.

oh you have to do Bongo or Crutch with Bibi

Please react to the big push - wade in the water/Nina simone/trouble so hard also sympathy for the devil rolling stones ❤❤❤

Ren’s cover is for me better than Sting’s original. A creative artist makes a cover new and refreshing. REN does this repeatedly. A case in point his autistic cover of Murderer.

am grateful to spread the ren rabbit hole & big push thru as many venues as possible but have to say disappointed with reaction. nothing indicating any semblance of vocal coaching in your viewing & then to blatantly share unfamiliarity w/ the original!!! what was the point? we are all familiar, looking for insight & substance. hope next listen provides some of that
