Richard Hawley

I feel like such a child

No, no I'm sure you're a fine upstanding young man and you have great taste in music

haha! If i can, i'm coming

Oh why isn't he playing anywhere in Hampshire, he did Southampton Guildhall last time. The closest venue is either Bexhill or London and I can't go . On a lighter note I can't wait for the new album. Maybe next time Mr Hawley.

I love Richard Hawley's music, meltingly romantic!

As I'm sure others here were, I went to see Elbow last year in the forest, and Richard Hawley guested on the Fix, just made it a real special night, am looking forward to his new album..

Me too! And what a title!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna see him in October

I'd love to see him live, but with seeing Elbow and Kasabian later, funds won't allow it, but one day I will..would REALLY love to see him when he does his winter gig in the Derbyshire cave..The Devil's Arse..

I hope you have a great time Grant..

that was last year, wasn't it? or is he doing it again?

I think he's doing it again..not sure..

Ooooooooooh! I wanna go this time managed to get a friend of mine who went to burn of the CD for me

Ah fantastic!

I notice there is a CD on Amazon..Devil's Arse

(I just like typing that...

Hahaha! If you want, i could rip it onto the computer, and send you it via PM, if someone could tell me how to put the music into it

That would be good.. no rush!!

Are you in Richard Hawley facebook group? they are pretty good with updates of info on him..

Just found this:

"The first track to be taken from the album will be the single, For Your Lover Give Some Time, to be released on Mute and available digitally from 10th August. The single is a bittersweet vignette depicting internal tensions in a perennial love affair, has Richard singing a confessional lyric over a light-footed arrangement of cello and violin. It is easily the most humorous track on the album, with a hint of the biting Gallic sarcasm of a Brel or Gainsbourg."

Ooooh! No, I am not, I shall get right on that

Got tickets to see him at the Liverpool Philharmonic hall in October. Saw him there a few years ago and he was superb. Best thing is that the venue is all seated so you don't get groups of wankers standing around talking and playing with mobile phones. I deliberately avoided his last tour as the venues were all standing and you never get to hear the music because there is some gorm stood next to you who is more interested in talking to his mates.

I couldn't agree more. Here is a 15 second clip of the new single:

Oh thanks so much for the link, but hearing it has made me even more upset about not seeing him. The song is beautiful and I simply cannot wait for the album. Please come to the south

I love Richard Hawley, just fantastic

Just heard his new single - For Your Lover Give Some time, it's absolutely beautiful.

I REALLY must seek out some of his work, have been meaning to do so since I heard...'Tonight, the streets ar ours'.

It is absolutely stunning, I don't know if you guys have read this from a few weeks ago:

Thank you!!!!!!! I was afraid i'd missed it

The speccy Yorkshire bloke was also a guest of Janice Long last night/this morning and this is also available at the listen again thingy.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006wr0n Tis the 12/08 show

She plays Longpigs about 18 mins into the show (after a Radcliffe & Maconie advert) and then it goes straight into Hawley.

does he play songs or is it just a chat?
