ah, it seems this has leaked out already….After Richard’s successful gig at the Devils Arse Cave in castleton Derbyshire
18th december 09. last xmas we decided to do it again. Why? because we all loved it – it was Richards favourite gig of the year. Tickets are on sale at
http://www.sheffieldcityhall.co.uk/events/Richard_Hawley_Devils_Arse/
The gig is in the cave so there are a few obvious conditions and restrictions so please read this carefully.This year we’re trying to be very clear that the set will be 1 hour long. Its not longer because although everyone else can wrap up warm (which we strongly urge you to do), the band cant wear gloves so eventually their hands get cold. So no intention to short change anyone but we have to be realistic. This is a fantastic and unique show and we hope everyone comes entering that spirit of it being a huge event not just a Hawley gig. What we do is put together a full night of entertainment and that’s what the ticket covers. Richard will have at least 1 support band in the cave and hopefully a guest or 2 – we cant promise this but its an intention. After the show the local pubs will have other bands in them and this year we have PA’s for them so it wont be completely acoustic. Its quite likely Richard will drop into the local pubs after the show as he did last year (and those who stayed til the very end can confirm some impromptu jams finished the night). So its a night out in a beautiful Derbyshire village with numerous artists playing and the main event being Richard. Finally, once again please dont forget – dress warmly !
Richard – We are a 4 voice (3 male, 1 female) acapella band based in and around the Peak District. We’re called The Kray Bros & Little Sister Carmel ( you may remember Carmel from her success in the late 80’s). We take our inspiration from early soul /blues. I’m asking wether you might give us a spot in one of the Castleton pubs after your ‘Devils Arse ‘ gig. We don’t want money – just the exposure to a cool audience. We can send a DVD of a recent gig – please get in touch – we’re fans and will be at the gig anyway. Cheers, Danny.
