"One of the great records of recent years" – The Guardian

Richard Hawley releases a brand new single, Coles Corner, on 31st October 2005 and follows the release with a short UK tour, beginning in Glasgow on the 13th November with a London show on the 16th November at Koko.

Coles Corner - the album's standout track - is the second single and the title track from the new album, out now and described as "One of this year's finest albums" by The Times, as "Songs of overwhelming beauty" by the NME and by Mojo as "Music to make jaws drop".

The single is steeped in Sheffield history and a very British sense of romance and timelessness. The title refers to a local meeting place for courting couples, still referred to by name even though it hasn't existed for years. The idea for the song was conceived by Hawley whilst rhythmically pushing his two children on the swings in his local park. The video was directed by Paul Green and features the comedian Toby Foster (of Phoenix Nights fame).

Available on 7" and CD, the CD version includes I'm Absolutely Hank Marvin featuring the legend that is Hank Marvin of The Shadows. Instantly recognisable, Hank Marvin's guitar playing has been an inspiration to thousands, including Hawley. The 7" includes brand new exclusive track, the filmic instrumental A Bird Never Flew On One Wing.

Richard Hawley has announced a four UK shows in November including a London date at Koko on 16th November. Tickets are priced at £9 (Glasgow and Manchester) and £10 (Birmingham and London) from the box office or gigsandtours.com.
