Richard Hawley at Warrington Parr Hall on Sunday

May 16 2008 by Michael Green, Flintshire Chronicle

THE former Longpigs and Pulp guitarist Richard Hawley will rock Warrington on Sunday, May 18 at 7.30pm when he brings his tour to the Parr Hall.

His appearance follows the recent release of his new album Lady's Bridge.

The rockabilly tracks – Serious and Looking For Someone To Find Me – come following his acting debut in the movie Flick in which he appears as a rockabilly radio DJ opposite Oscar winner Faye Dunaway.

There's also more of a band feel to this album with regular players John Trier (keyboards), Shez Sheridan (guitar) and Dean Beresford (drums) all taking starring roles.

Bassist and co-producer Colin Elliot meanwhile stepped up to the challenge of arranging the 16-piece string orchestra on the lush opener, Valentine.
