Richard Hawley set for Belfast
RICHARD Hawley will be paying a visit to Belfast later this year when he plays the Mandela Hall on Sunday December 2.
After a decade of seducing career couples with the Roy Orbinson stylings of several critically acclaimed and, latterly, commercially successful albums, Sheffield’s most unlikely pop star is back, and this time he’s rocking out.
It shouldn’t be a shock: Hawley started out in indie band the Longpigs, has worked with Pulp and Robbie Williams, and even contributed the guitar solo to All Saints’ version of Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Under the Bridge. Standing at the Sky’s Edge is the sound of Hawley cutting loose, and clearly enjoying it.
Tickets priced £20 plus booking fee, are on sale now through Ticketmaster outlets.
