NME Award Show: Richard Hawley

The NME Awards show gigs are coming thick and fast at the moment with shows most night of the week in London. The concerts provide good opportunity for shooting some excellent up-and-coming bands, as the gigs always have relatively strong support.
Richard Hawley (top photo below) is a personal favourite - an old fashioned crooner, who has gradually matured into his sound since his days in Pulp. He has wit to add, and following on from the stoned electronica of Maps (middle photo below) and the promising Vincent Vincent And The Villains (bottom photo below), who are soon to release their debut album, this was the most enjoyable gig so far from the NME shows.
