The track “Heart Of Oak‘ is taken from the new album titled “Hollow Meadow”, which will be released on September 11th. Recorded at Sheffield’s Yellow Arch Studio in spring 2015, The new album Hollow Meadows sees Richard Hawley return to the classic, sophisticated songwriting style and subtle arrangements that made him so revered in the first place. Meditating on such themes as ageing, fallibility and relationships, So much of the album shares a brooding, yet wistful and romantic atmosphere in keeping with his earlier albums Late Night Final and Lowedges, as well as touches of 2009’s Truelove’s Gutter and Standing At The Sky’s Edge. The album features some notable guests from the UK folk scene, Hawley’s neighbour and friend Martin Simpson, and Nancy Kerr. Other guests include one of Hawley’s oldest and dearest friends, Jarvis Cocker, and the Hick Street Chip Shop Singers, who are made up of various Sheffield luminaires, including Slow Club’s Rebecca Taylor.
Richard Hawley will undertake a 13-date tour of the UK and Ireland this autumn. This will be his longest UK tour in three years and include his largest ever Sheffield show, when he plays his first hometown show in over two years, at Sheffield Arena on November 6th.
