Richard Hawley

The dreaded batter pudding hurler of Bexhill On Sea......

All the theatres on this tour are visions of architectural beauty but this place is just georgeous...

Bexhill is where Spike Milligag,the well known spelling mistake lived.

its a decent venue / arts centre actually, and a beautiful building, I saw Isobel Cambell and Mark Lanegan there not that long back

Spike Milligan did his first stint of active service in WW2 there i read it in his book"Hitler and my part in his downfall"which is why i wanted to play there

Julie bought me(long time ago) every book that Milligan wrote,all the war storey ones are so funny and yet so sad.How he first met Harry Secombe,it's excellent.(Anybody seen a cannon?).Pukoon,me Mum likes that one,she's Irish.They are all a must read.
When I saw it was on the tour I thought,two of me heroes,one dead and one alive,iknow what you're all thinking.
Anyway,tickets got and may stay the night on the South Coast,wahey !
Also going to York,Shepherds Bush,Liverpool,Sheffield.Trying to work in Scotland for Glasgow and Edingburgh.
When is Vicar Street? Two years ago that was fantastic.
Exciting times eh?
Looking forward to seeing you all.

Having seen the pic of this place, it convinced me to see Richard at Bexhill rather than trek to a big city (Bristol/London). Great link to the great Spike too! Have booked tickets!!

I saw an elsebound train, on the overpass
In the driving rain, every ticket costs the same
For where you can't go
Mustang horses, champagne glasses
Anything frail anything wild
It's the price of living motion, what's beautiful is broken
And grace is just the measure of a fall.

Hi there tom, welcome to the funny farm
