Just back from hearing the amazing Richard Hawley play in Whelans, Dublin. Normally I’d say ’seeing Richard Hawley’ but I couldn’t see a thing due to the venue being sold out. Beautiful music. Great band. Fun crowd.
The Marketing bit
The support act was brilliant. I’d love to buy some of the support acts music but probably never will. Who are you??? Please say your name before and after your performace and then we can listen even more.
The sales bit
It is true to say that we don’t buy from people we don’t like. When I heard that Richard had a new record out, 50% of my interest was because he was such a decent guy the first time I’d met him.
The personal bit
I had the pleasure of meeting Richard when I lived in Toronto for a short while a few years back.
I was in Toronto to meet David Houghton (graphic designer and percussionist for the Cowboy Junkies) but heard there was a Long Pigs gig on. Even though these guys were pretty big back in the UK, they were relatively small in Canada and i slipped backstage to say hello. Both the singer and Richard (who was guitarist at the time) were clearly exhausted from a stunning gig but both genuine gents and stopped to chat and say hello.
