"He doesn't run a lonely hearts club on this album."

Richard Hawley has become a revered musician over the years and just in case his records weren’t enough to concrete that reputation in our minds, tonight’s gig certainly is.

“I really wanted to come back, I really did. The last time I was in Australia was so long ago, I think it was ’98 and that was when I was over there with Pulp and I’ve never played on my own. I want to come to Australia to see some real friends!”

A more intimate experience for his fans is on the cards

The iconic Brit plays three shows in January.

“I don’t do all that fucking ArseBook shit," rants UK singer Richard Hawley, "I can’t cope with that. That really does my head in, the pointlessness. Hey, I’ve got 4,602 friends... I find it really fucking weird!”
