Richard Hawley announces his largest UK show to date

Richard Hawley has announced his largest UK headline show to date this autumn.

The singer, who releases his new album 'Standing At The Sky's Edge' on May 7, will headline London's O2 Academy Brixton on October 3.

'Standing At The Sky's Edge' is the follow-up to his 2009 effort 'Truelove's Gutter' and contains a total of nine tracks.

Speaking about the LP, Hawley said he wanted to make a simpler record and move away from the grander sounds of his previous albums. He said of the album: "I wanted to get away from the orchestration of my previous records and make a live album with two guitars, bass, drums and rocket noises!"

Hawley also recently collaborated with Arctic Monkeys on their new B-side 'You And I', scroll down to the bottom of the page and click to watch the video for the track.
