The Ocean is one of the standout tracks from the album. Orchestral, soaring and intimate, the autobiographical single was written whilst Hawley was on holiday with his family and the video, directed by
Laurence Easeman (The Coral, Polyphonic Spree), was shot on location in Cornwall, around the Minack Theatre.
The album title, Coles Corner, refers to an old meeting place for courting couples in Hawley’s hometown, Sheffield. Coles Corner is still a meeting place for many generations in
Sheffield despite its demolition in 1969, and Richard Hawley is collecting memories, anecdotes and photographs relating to Coles Corner. For more information or to take part, please visit www.richardhawleyforum.co.uk .
After recent dates with R.E.M. and a European tour with Nancy Sinatra (who recently said, “Richard Hawley is incredibly gifted. Soulful and world weary for his young age,
he allows us to witness a true musician’s heart embracing his muse and spilling his guts for all to hear”, Richard Hawley will be announcing UK dates in the near future .
