Mr Hawley,
I registered to this forum only to thank you! I'm not a forum guy so I know I won't post much if at all but I discovered your music in April this year. Saw a picture of you in a magazine advertising a gig of yours. It said something like "don't miss this... the ever-excellent Richard Hawley", plus I liked what I saw, the rockabilly look complete with a beautiful Gretsch... I immediately thought I should check you out and boy, am I happy I did!
Fast forward a few months, I bought all your records (no downloads! The real stuff
) and went to your gig at the Ancienne Belgique in my hometown (Brussels).
It was absolutely beautiful! As are all your records, there is not one song I dislike. My wife loved the gig too and can't have enough of the records either.
So, thank you so much for your music but also your personality, being so down to earth and not an ego-tripping diva like so many others. The music industry (let alone the world) needs more people like you.
*fanboy-talk over*
Cheers!
David
