Richard Hawley

What an excellent night to finish off an brilliant year of gigs from Mr H...
The venue was cool, the free beer even more so and it was nice to catch up with our Forum pals...
Merry Christmas all. Enjoy the break...

It was indeed an excellent gig. The Baroness and I managed to elbow our way to the front row, closely shadowed byDenise, so had a bird's eye view. I'm always fascinated to watch Richard and Shez playing close-up and also to watch the way they interact and communicate with each other with very few words(they're like an old married couple!! ).

I would never have imagined Coles Corner to 'work' as an acoustic piece, but it was amazing. 'I'm on nights' actually made me cry, as did 'I'm so Lonesome, I could cry'.

All in all a fantastic night and lovely to meet The Boss, Julie Murphy and andyT for the first time.

I particularly enjoyed the ironing story - very good advice for heartbroken guys................. and no I haven't tried to picture it!

Hello all you lovely RH people...

I'm new on here, it was great to be able to say hi to Denise, after a while chatting via the Cousteau myspace.

Fabulous, fabulous gig, a real treat... looking forward to listening again via Q website etc.

Hope to see you again soon, happy Christmas to y'all

Hi Linda - welcome to the Hawleyboard! I can't remember if we were introduced (as soon as Richard is around I forget everything else!) but I was with Denise..........

Glad you enjoyed the gig!

Hi again then, I think we met you briefly before the gig, near the door! I was with my friend Caroline...

So no shiny suit. Good. Saving it for Southampton I hope!

No shiny suit - a very nice black jacket with embroidery, a white round necked T-shirt, drainpipe jeans and shiny black boots...........

And Shez in a nice dark suit and black shirt.

Watching the lap steel being played is a real treat.

Clive, as usual, was humungous on the harmonica. I do hope all the songs find their way on to the Q web site.

.... it was only a matter of time but I'm going to have to start a thread on Richard's wardrobe ... where should I put it? In the questions for RH? It's so not miscellaneous ...

Culture Corner?

"Also, there was a lot of chattering in the room. The man and woman in front of me had been talking for a while but when Lady Solitude started, I had to have a polite word with them. In fairness to them, they quit talking immediately. It was only after that I was told that the bloke was in fact Richard's manager!! "

caught red handed mate - many apologies
