There's more stuff on the Cambridge gig in this thread (it's not in gigs as we just continued on Cod's announcement message)

A bit of an article here.................

Last Wednesday festival organiser Eddie Barcan thought he had a big hole in his programme when one of his bill-toppers, John Hiatt, cancelled due to family illness. A phone call later and he’d secured the services of Richard Hawley, a man who first built his reputation playing guitar with those famous folk groups Longpigs and Pulp.

It was a great call. Radiating genuine warmth and humility, Hawley walked on stage on Sunday night and seduced the festival in a way few of the weekend’s preceding acts had with his soaring Scott Walker voice, wry introductions and sumptuous Sheffield anthems. “I thought you’d all hate me, I was expecting to have bottles thrown at me,” said Hawley, touchingly overwhelmed by one of the weekend’s most rapturous receptions. It felt almost life-affirming.



:D

Is it impossible to watch the performance of "Serious" on BBC site from Japan ?

Although I could watch The Verve's performance on BBC site :evil:

Just wanted to say that me and the missus were there and you were awesome, just awesome!
Never really knew your music prior to Cambridge so have no rectified that by going out and have bought your new album, so there you go Live Gigs really do work.
Only joined the forum to say thanks, hope to get to see you again before the years out!

Cheers

Mojo review of the gig ends with the following:

'but the surprise success on Sunday night was Richard Hawley, an 11th hour replacement for John Hiatt. The crowd swooned to his hefty, soaring, romantic ballads of life and love in Sheffield and suddenly Scott Walker was reborn as a Yorkshire folk hero. Wonderfully odd and oddly wonderful...
