Richard Hawley, (born Sheffield, United Kingdom) is a critically acclaimed guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer. Hawley initially found success as a member of Britpop band Longpigs in the 1990’s. When a drug-filled torpor after an extensive tour of America brought the band to the brink of extinction in 1997, Hawley was asked to play with Pulp by his close friend and Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker. “They saved my life,” Hawley later recalled, “I was going mental with drink and drugs.” The subsequent world tour in support of Pulp’s album This Is Hardcore left Hawley emotionally and physically drained on his return to his home city. During this time, he even considered leaving the music industry altogether.
It was an encounter at Hawley’s Sheffield home that led the longtime collaborator out of the shadows. Impressed by a home demo of his songs, both Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker and Steve Mackey urged Hawley to head into the studio and begin work on his first solo release. 2000’s eponymous mini album encouraged Hawley to return to the studio once more. In 2001 Late Night Final, named after the cry of vendors selling the Sheffield Star evening newspaper on the streets of the city, was released to positive reviews from the press, if unspectacular sales. Two years later Hawley released Lowedges, another Sheffield reference, this time to the curiously named suburb of the city that had so entranced the young Hawley when he had seen it on the destination board of a bus. NME called Lowedges the “first great album of 2003” and it topped an end of year poll held by Virgin Radio.

sad to say its down to airplay,the only way that seems to happen these days is being in used in some hip or ropey film or advert......just heard him used for a trailer on TV.Truelove's Gutter didn't appear in many end of yr top 50s which is a shame...But quality will out it, takes time,but Richard Hawley will get his deserved recognition..Fuckin genius

Not sure about Modern Day Sinatra,But he deserves to be considered one of our greatest singer/songwriter's.And he does'nt suffer by being compared to the great male artists of the Twentieth Century.Saw him live five times 2005-2007.Not caught him live this year with his new sound but look fwrd to see him live nxt yr.Only started listening to the new Album so far not disappointed..Gabe
