We cannot wait to see you in Sheffield tomorrow night.

Me and my fiancée Jo are getting married in September. We fell in love against a soundtrack of your music, and have been lucky enough to see you twice since, in Leeds and at Latitude.

We're torn between Tonight the Streets and Hotel Room as a first dance. I know it's ultimately our decision but can you give us a steer, something that will tip us one way or the other?

Sound advice... and thanks for the reply

We're going to decide for sure after tonight. See you in the big tent - for me, a birthday I'll never forget!

I went to the wedding of my friends Joe and Laura yesterday. I knew they were Hawley fans as we went to the Graves Park concert together, but it was a lovely surprise last night when it turned out that their first dance was to "Serious" by Mr Hawley Over the years I've heard many different Hawley songs suggested for a first dance, but never Serious - it was perfect though! The perfect lyrics and the jaunty tune got everyone on the dancefloor very quickly

Just thought you'd like to know Richard that yet another couple have celebrated their marriage with your music

P.S. The reception was held at the Millennium Galleries in Sheffield which I can highly recommend as a venue

Well, thanks to the tip, we went for Serious in the end too. It was the perfect choice - the handful of Hawleyites went ballistic, the uncles assumed it was a lost gem from the 50s, and everyone else couldn't resist it. The band had offered to try and learn it, but we gave them a polite 'no'... The original or not at all.

A perfect start to married life.

Thanks Richard.

Have a wonderful, happy life together.

We get married in Poland in June and are having 'Love of my Life' as our first song.
I don't know if the Polish guests will understand the lyrics but its the least of my current upcoming worries!
I wanted something heartfelt, beautiful and most importantly due to my lack of dancing ability/rhythym less that 4 mins long.
Don't suppose there is a sneaky 30 second long remix Im unaware of?
