Richard Hawley (2006)

Interview by Maureen Paton, Rock's Backpages audio, 13 October 2006

On a taxi ride to Monsal Head in the Peak District National Park, Hawley talks about his style; the enchanted lyre and other obscure instruments; his singing voice; his Sheffield home and background, his family, and not wanting the rock star lifestyle; becoming a songwriter; being born with a cleft palate and hair lip, and learning to sing from his mother.
