*PREORDER* VA – Richard Hawley’s Jukebox – Ace UK LP

Ace are 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. These are a choice 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 all that’s 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.
