If Cole’s Corner was a monochrome Saturday afternoon matinee, Lady’s Bridge, is a Technicolor Friday night feature.

2007-08-27 - REVIEW

Richard Hawley brings his live show to Dublin's Vicar Street following the release of his Lady’s Bridge album.

2007-06-15 - News

The title track from Hawley’s masterpiece LP is a gem of understated beauty. Using Sinatra-esque vocals, he crafts four minutes of sincere nostalgia, bleeding with absolute beauty. The sense of longing wrapped in his vocal delivery, coupled with his aching lyrics of hope and desire paints an unforgiving and all-consuming picture of loneliness and unfulfilled desire. A beautiful piece of music from a true master.

Impossibly nice guy Richard Hawley has no interest whatsoever in celebrity.

2005-10-17 - Interview

It’s a certain unique kind of person who finds themselves on the Christmas card lists of both Robbie Williams and Scott Walker.

2005-09-01 - REVIEW

Lovely former Longpigs frontman and occasional Pulp guitarist Richard Hawley talks solo albums, Sheffield sauces and swears a lot, before offering a world exclusive on Robbie Williams. Sort of.

2003-03-05 - Interview

Chances are in three decades time, nobody will realise that Hawley’s beautifully crafted songs don’t date from the 1950s. Hawley is a contemporary master of the sort of moody, majestic torch songs that flourished during that era.

2003-02-10 - REVIEW

Despite an annoyingly chatty Thursday night crowd, Hawley created a sort of magical, and very cosy, atmosphere, constructing a cocoon of the kind of delicious sadness you want to wallow and revel in

2002-02-15 - REVIEW

Richard Hawley’s pedigree as a guitarist was never in doubt. A cursory glance at his CV reveals that Richard has ground his axe for the likes of Robbie Williams, Finlay Quaye and Perry Farrell. What is surprising, perhaps, is the richness of Hawley’s voice, pitched somewhere between Neil Hannon and Sean Miller.
