Richard Hawley

I have had a go at putting together a compliation of Sheffield-related tracks. All have been released as singles in the UK and span 5 decades:

Dave Berry - The Crying Game
Joe Cocker - Delta Lady
Ace - How Long
Jilted John - Jilted John
Heaven 17 - Temptation
Human League - Louise
Living In A Box - Living In A Box
ABC - When Smokey Sings
Def Leppard - Animal
LFO - LFO
Pulp - Disco 2000
The Longpigs - She Said
Babybird - You're Gorgeous
Olive - You're Not Alone
All Seeing I - Beat Goes On
Moloko - Sing It Back
Ann Lee - 2 Times
Milburn - Send In The Boys
Arctic Monkeys - Crying Lightning
Richard Hawley - Open Up Your Door

Sunrise is a better tune than Disco 2000 imho.

Sounds good - are you going to upload it somewhere so we can all take advantage of your compilation?

Personal experience led me to choose the Pulp track!

Possibly nobody would choose exactly the same as my list, but is there any major charting artist I have omitted?

How about Reverend and The Makers? Tony Christie? I am sure there are a few more

I like 'Silence Is Talking'!
Reminds me of something else that has slipped the mind.

Accepted Tony Christie as a Conisbrough lad and didn't want to cheat!

You missed off Little Man Tate too, they were a top band...suggests "Sexy in Latin".
