Richard Hawley

Bloody one of the best gigs of my life, I cried, soft as sh*t!

I'm really pleased you enjoyed it LL - it sounds as though it was a wonderful night. I'm still trying to download it from the RH forum, but with little success at the moment. I'll ask my less technophobic daughter to try it for me when she gets back from school. By the way, I'm absolutely pig sickeningly jealous of you! - money constraints have seriously curtailed my live music at the moment!

It was just perfect!
My boyfriend did that recording PM me your address if you like and I'll post you a copy

I've just booked a ticket on ebay for the Jazz Cafe on 7th June - as you can imagine it was horribly expensive, but I am sOOOOO looking forward to this. Mind you, it wasn't as expensive as the Halle gig or even going to Berlin for 3 days!

That will be fabulous Ticky ! I only got into Hawley just after he played the Bridgwater in Manchester late last year........thats one guy I have to see live, you enjoy yerself........shout 'The Ocean please Rich !', even though he won't play it, I'm sure !

I'm going too Ticky!!

That's brilliant news!!! I'm sure I'll bump into you there - naturally I remember what you look like from the South Bank Show (and your nifty hand actions!!). I presume Oneofthethree will be there as well - I'll definately recognise him!!

haha, oh gosh how embarrassing, I hadn't even had a drink
I posted some accommodation dets for you on the Hawley Board.
See you there

He's doing a mini-festival on 5th June in Derbyshire - Teddy Boys Picnic - it sounds FAB, but I can't go.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow, and I think they'll sell out quite quickly.

I'm so going, I have ditched Jazz Cafe for this, even though I'm five mins down the road, I'm in Manchester for some gigs on Monday so why not go oooppp north early, yah!!
Will I see you there Ticky?? Actually you may have answered that on the Hawley board, I'll take a stroll over that end of fourmland.

Fantastic!!!! I just couldn't let this one go - it sounds an absolute riot. I still haven't got my ticket yet for Jazz Cafe from Ebay, so that should prove interesting . It's not going to be too much trouble to cancel the hotel and the train tickets weren't that expensive.

I CAN'T BLOODY WAIT

He's won the MOJO for best album! Well done Richard!

Yeah ! Woke up, stuck 6music on in bed, they were talking about it and the they played 'The Ocean' as I was groggily waking up......what a way to enter a new day !

Well Done Richard !

So very well deserved.
Absolutely delighted

More evidence, if anyone needed it, that Hawley is a top bloke with sound principles:

If you didn't catch it yesterday, Keavo's right hand man Matt Everitt interviews RH for his "The First Time With..." strand. Listen again for another 6 days here.

Gawd, what a hero. I just wanna hug the man.

Oh thanks Mrs Woman, this is MAGIC, second listen.
Great great interview. I want to play travel battleship

Thank you again!!

Just need to bump this thread up.
According to a post on his official forum,Mr Hawley's 7th album will be released in Spring. Really can't wait...

Amazingly wonderful news:

I simply can't wait. I have a total obsession with his music - for me, this will be the most hotly anticipated album of the year.

That's great news - I'm going to see him live next time he's in Manchester, will be my first time.

He's got that perfect 'winter warming' voice.

I've just heard a track from his new album and LOVE it - It's exactly the sort of thing I'm enjoying at the moment - lots of guitars, psychadelic gorgeousness!

This is even better than I hoped for. Absolutely stellar!!! I've got a feeling he's going to 'do an Elbow' with this one. There is not one single filler on the album - I haven't stopped playing it since it came out. After the fairly meh Truelove's Gutter, this is a fresh breath of dynamite. Nuff said - JUST BUY IT!!!!

well, heard a couple of tracks of the new LP and MBV is about to break his live Hawley cherry ! 26 September in Manchester.....after Ticky's mini review, it's a must buy on next pay day ! The guy's rockin' out again !

I'm really looking forward to seeing him live - June 8th in London and September in Bath. He certainly IS rocking!

I KNEW he'd get nominated for his album - he really deserves it.

By the way - I've got a spare ticket to see him in Bath if anyone is interested.
