ACE!!!!
I will leave the music review bit for Reidski cos he is far better at that than I am, but apart from the music which was superb, Hawley just comes across as such a great bloke. He is funny, relaxed, and chats with the audience like we are old mates. He is also very good with hecklers.
He asked if we liked the new backdrop which was two fancy, glittery and entwined letters - 'R' and 'H'. He said he thought they looked a bit 'gay' and then said he had nicked them off Rolf Harris; and at this point someone shouted out (what could have been a request???) 'Two Little Boys!'

Yes, I know it is 'Come Up and See Me'.
YP, that is rather cool!
Messalina - had we only known Cockney Rebel were playing Northampton we would have had to give Richard Hawley a miss. I bet it was a really good night!
And if it wasn't 'Coming Up and See Me'it should have been.
