28 LITTLE BANGERS FROM RICHARD HAWLEY'S JUKEBOX (VINYL)

Ace Records is thrilled to be working with seminal
singer-songwriter, toast of this year's Olivier Awards and
all-round Sheffield legend Richard Hawley on this, the
first volume of a compilation series of some of his
favourite singles. This is a selection of 28 7's that
Richard has collected on his travels around the globe,
through friends, family, collectors, word of mouth, thrift
shop finds, pub jukebox gems and everything in
between. Richard refers to the glue that joins these
selections together as 'Little Bangers' as they are all mini
hand grenades; bright lights that explode and fizzle out,
some big names, some rarities, some lost souls, some
obscurities, some by artists he actively enjoys knowing
almost nothing about other than they want to get him on
his feet and dance. Many are garage instrumentals,
exposing the guitar-line as lead melody and the art of
telling a story without lyrics.
