After playing with The Longpigs and then as Pulp’s guitarist, Hawley released a string of ten both critically acclaimed and commercially successful solo albums, as well as three live albums.

He has also collaborated with a number of artists, including Arctic Monkeys, Manic Street Preachers, Elbow and Paul Weller, alongside Duane Eddy, Shirley Bassey, Nancy Sinatra, Lisa Marie Presley, Martin Carthy and the late Norma Waterson.

In 2024 Richard released his ninth studio album, In This City They Call You Love. It was a UK Top 5 album and was rated a 8/10 by Hot Press, who said of the musician: “I’ve yet to meet a musician who doesn’t love his ability to pay homage to the past, often via 1960s rockabilly, with the kind of timeless melodies and toe-tapping choruses many rivals would trade a toe for.”

Tickets for Richard Hawley’s Dublin and Belfast shows sell for €56.35 and so on sale this Friday, July 25 here.
