23 February, 2016: Richard Hawley rolls into London as his Hollow Meadows tour calls at the legendary Hammersmith Eventim Apollo. Check out our beautiful photos from the show here.
"Remember," smiles the Sheffield troubadour, "there's no standing, no dancing, no smiling - but I don't mind jiving - let's have a good time."
Amen. As his career-spanning set drifts through this vast venue and takes us through a full spectrum of emotion, his searing guitar tones met with his silky voice drive home a catalogue by a man who can only be described as a national treasure.
Richard Hawley played:
Which Way
Tonight the Streets Are Ours
Standing at the Sky's Edge

Leave Your Body Behind You
Sometimes I Feel
Open Up Your Door
Tuesday PM
Time Will Bring You Winter
Down in the Woods
Don't Stare at the Sun
Heart of Oak
There's a Storm Comin'
