Richard Hawley

Richard Hawley is the kind of musician I instinctively trust. A Sheffield man who paid his dues in Longpigs and toured with Pulp alongside his friend Jarvis Cocker, he then quietly built a solo catalogue of ten albums. What draws me to him is the craftsmanship over flash; he's a guitarist's guitarist, a writer of music that feels lived-in and slightly melancholy, the kind of sound you'd expect from a steel-town romantic. The MOJO recognition fits. I value artists who chase their own voice instead of trends, and Hawley strikes me as exactly that, a real, enduring craftsman.
