Guest AnotherOwl Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 He's an amazing musician and song writer. World class. I am so proud he is from Sheffield. I presume that interview was done before Megson arrived though, because now, I can imagine Wednesday winning something again! Fagan's is a great pub too!

31Dec1966 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Hugely under rated by the general public, I hope Richard stays a bit of a Sheffield secret. His albums are named after places here, Lowedges, Lady's bridge, Coles Corner, Trueloves Gutter. he's also produced the Tony Christie album, Made in Sheffield. I wish there was a RH song for Wednesday to come out to but most are slowish and reflective perceptive jewels about life and love. Several of the titles are apposite though :"Our Darkness", "Born under a bad sign" "The light at the end of the tunnel (was a train coming the other way)" "Love of my life" "Ashes on the fire" . All these remind me in some way of Wednesday. I've often stood under the South stand watching the river with Roll, River, Roll going through my mind. Richard likes playing concerts in unusual and evocative locations, I'm sure, if asked, he'd play at Hillsborough. If you haven't listened to Richards music, you don't know what you're missing. Best listened to on your own in the dark with a pint of real ale, I find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 You are so proud he is from Sheffield and he himself is so proud he is from Sheffield. He may be underrated by the public at large but he commands the utmost respect from his peers. Also you'd be surprised where you here his music, I hear his albums playing in bars both here in Oxford and also in Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

31Dec1966 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Just thought of something else. Sheffield United: Sean Bean. Sheffield Wednesday: Richard Hawley. There's even a gulf in class in celebrity fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
