When was richard hawley in pulp

And they were singing all the time. It was great. Like The Magical Mystery Tour! After meeting at the Radio 2 folk awards in , they realised they lived on opposite sides of the same street.

Hawley thinks their unusual bonding makes perfect sense. He remembers a time when his old label, Mute, tried to work out the demographics of his fanbase. He laughs, filthily.

His theory about songs being more important than their singers works for another Sheffield star too. I loved it. It just felt normal. I bet he knows that with the trappings of fame and success, you lose more than you gain.

I felt that there was some justice in it, especially because it felt so celebratory. In the same interview, Hawley also said that Glastonbury festival had become 'meaningless' and talked about collaboration with Manic Street Preachers on their upcoming album.

After contributing towards her eponymous release , Hawley also supported Nancy Sinatra on her European tour in Aside from his solo and session work, Hawley occasionally tours with The Feral Cats , a side project that enables him to explore his interest in rockabilly music.

Possibly due to his aforementioned rockabilly interest, Hawley once auditioned for the role as guitarist in the rockabilly-inclined Morrissey 's band. Fiercely proud of his working class upbringing, Hawley recently described himself as "jurassic labour" in response to a question about the New Labour project.

He lives in Sheffield, with his wife and children and is an avid Sheffield Wednesday supporter. In Hawley released a new studio album, Lady's Bridge the title refers to a bridge Hawley regulary crosses in his native Sheffield again to much critical acclaim. The album was nominated for, and won the Mojo record of the year.

Following the success of his award-winning, hugely acclaimed album 'Truelove's Gutter', Richard Hawley will release his sixth studio album, 'Standing At The Sky's Edge' - his first for new label Parlophone - on 7th May.

The album is a euphoric, sonic assault on the senses, channelling elements of psychedelia, space rock and ragas with heavy riffs and raw, visceral guitar solos - as well as more familiar, tender moments - which will surprise Hawley's fans and peers alike. But Pulp was a laugh, like touring with your family. Since then, me and Jarv have been really close mates. We discovered we're both speccy mongs who like similar things. We both trawl junkshops for little weird records.

When I was in London, I'd always stay at his house. I renamed it Teetering Piles, 'cos there were carrier bags of things everywhere that he'd bought a year ago and never opened. Basically, the evening would be: finish rehearsal, listen to loads of mental tunes, get monumentally trollied. It's not just music, though. Jarv's always been there for me. He's a very generous warm bloke. And he's funny as well.

He has me belly laughing sometimes. Jarvis doesn't think he did, but I'm amazed at how well he dealt with the tabloid stardom. People would come up and hassle him and he'd never tell 'em to piss off.

He drives you mental, actually. If you've got to go somewhere, he'll always sit talking to a fan. I think he just likes talking to people. There's never been that "star" thing with him.
