Does anyone know if Mr Hawley is actually playing or is he just doing the honours?

hi liberty
from what we know . he is making an "appearance" turning on the lights , but no mention of a song
i will read over our leaflet again tomorrow , and if i can tell you anything more i will let you know
sharon

yes he will be doing a couple of songs.This info is from richard on his website forum

Of course he'll be doing his songs, he even took his guitar to the graduation ceremony at the City Hall, like you do!!!

So what time will this be?

It's alright, I've found it: local acts at 5pm, official opening with Richard Hawley at 6:45.
From SCC website here (http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/index.asp?pgid=152765&addComment=yes)

Will he do that one about the can of pop he found in his pocket?

No doubt something equally depressing if not that one. Just so long as he doesn't hang his hat on the end of his guitar!!!

Yeah, it went flat, and then he lost it. Great tune.

Oooh I might go along to that - it sounds like a fabulous evening with Richard Hawley - hope it not too cold to stand and listen ....

Congratulations to Look North Le*ds who, on their early morning bulletin mentioned this story by way of showing footage of last year's flooding at
