Award-winning Sheffield songwriter Richard Hawley shows us the vintage Gretsch, Fender and Gibson archtops , solidbodies and acoustics he used to craft his stunning new album 'In This City They Call You Love', including a 70s Telecaster passed on to him by American songwriting legend Scott Walker. Featuring vintage British amps and obscure but viscerally powerful Cold War era fuzz-wah pedals, no vintage guitar fan or student of what matters in songwriting should miss this frank, insightful and often funny journey through Richard Hawley's enviable vintage guitar collection and Hawley's first-hand experiences of sessions with Duane Eddy, Scott Walker, Robert Plant and his own beautiful, powerfully emotive solo work.

thanks for interviewing Richard, he is a true hero

[@markgatland977]

Love this guy and his approach to old instruments...plus, his music is top notch as well. Brilliant songwriter 👌

[@pipLaw21]

"I'm not a musician. I collect sound." awesome quote.

[@robertpeterson8640]

Love Hawley. Great soulful player. Wonderful writer.

[@mikaso]

Never heard and seen such beautiful guitars before. But that fuzz wah pedal was almost even more jaw dropping! Thank you for a wonderful documentary, greetings from Sweden

[@misubi]

Such an amazing singer and songwriter. And he has great tasteful playing as well.

[@Me-gs1mp]

Good to hear Scott's guitar ❤️

[@LysanderLH]

What a lovely musician. I’d love to meet him.

[@piggycity]

Another great video! Love Richard and his story abouting blasting Scott Walker at pool😂. Love Scott Walker! Also really love that he grew up with Jarvis Cocker and Steve Mackey! Pulp❤

[@Big.E]

Love that J200 Richard, awesome

[@mickgreenwood7158]

That Country Club sounded awesome. Richtone is a great shop.

[@user-ej6nh6fk5h]

Great interview, great storytelling, throughly enjoyed it. 👍🎸🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@dbob3405]

Great story-glad the tele found a great home where it will be played by a great musician

[@cgavin1]

Wonderful interview! Full credit to the interviewer for letting him just speak!

[@mikaso]

Yeah this!

[@linjicakonikon7666]

I'm 70 and I can relate. I have an array of vintage cameras. They're special and they'll never be made like that again 📷🎶☕🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@grizcuz]

I sort of imagined Scott Walker would be all: delicately sipping martinis whilst playing backgammon with models. I can't imagine him supping Guinness and playing darts with Richard Hawley, even if he was shit at pool.

[@Me-gs1mp]

I can

[@lynnedarby6702]

Wow goose bumpsI was so lucky to be there at Hammersmith Apollo to listen to Rock n Roll.. Loving listening to Richard talking about guitars so passionately Amazing sounds and vibes from your 1954 Gibson same vintage as me!

[@cerijohn8990]

Absolute delight.

[@michagonet3716]

I had no idea who this guy was but I’ve already watched this three times. Such a lovely material! Cheers!

[@MrMeadfoot]

Wish this was on longer, great stuff.

[@Psychedelic-Peter]

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you.

[@Deliquescentinsight]

They respond to Luv, this man is the real deal, acoustic guitars truly do respond to love and the times we experience with them,

[@chickenlickin3820]

Very interesting thanks for sharing it with us x

[@themonthehill305]

Pure class! Thank you for this

[@user-jc9oq9tt1w]

That Tele is perfection

[@dejavoodoo7204]

One of your best vids yet, keep it up folks👏👏👏👏👏

[@tbeau6663]

Outstanding video

[@salvadormirandaguardiola7144]

Thanks, great video!

[@mtbmadman011]

I so enjoyed this, so inspirational!

[@smujiodome]

Lovely guy. Great musician.

[@iannicholls7476]

Great player and a great guy.

[@johndaugherty4127]

You sound great. Remind me of Waylon. That is the highestcompliment I can give to anyone.

[@christianboddum8783]

I believe he is right about the sonic memory thing. I have very precise memory of guitars I've played from very young, confirmed later. FWIW

[@youngandrew66]

Wow amazing pedal

[@JuddLofthouse]

Richard is the greatest 👌👌👌

[@dennyking]

I wonder if this is the Tele Scott played on Later with Jools in '95 when he performed "Rosary". I'm glad Richard has it, that's perfect.

[@anthonysaia1027]

Great video !

[@nicholasg923]

Really interesting and inspirational guy & guitarist. He seems to be friends with all the people I like, be it Will Sergeant or his guitar tech Gordon White. I think I might have seen him recently at the Brudenell bar prior to a Barry Adamson gig ..

[@guymansfield-smith1135]

My only complaint. No where near long enough! Fantastic!

[@FabianSalomonsson]

I never thought a pedal would have "genuine leather" written on it, what a cool piece haha.

[@matthewcollis-long5233]

I’m not especially familiar with Richard Hawley, to my detriment. What a lovely player! What a collection!! Also, someone needs to make that wah fuzz thingy again.

[@boco1951]

Really nice J200! Many sound tubby and need some push.

[@11000038]

No Regrets about watching this!

[@tidepoolbay]

Nice Work! WooF!!🐶🐶

[@noahbenson585]

Man, the things I would do with this j200 and a pint of guinness

[@bleeknoir]

National treasure.

[@MrOtters86]

Please tell me there is a second video on the way with those ES295s on the rack . Superb this!

[@stevem-h3562]

Saw him play with Pulp at the Albert Hall back in 2012/13 during the Teenage Cancer Trust gigs. He was great.

[@alan-vo9df]

The man rules, beautiful and i'm a drummer, lovely, music above all the shit in our lives.

[@Tomtoms-tomtoms]

An Epiphone ej200 was my first guitar.. I LOVE J200s, .. one day I hope to afford a Gibson one

[@harlanthejester]

The J-160E fabulous..

[@edwardmarks4293]

I'd rather listen to Richard Hawley any day over Jimmy Page.

[@rubbadubdub6543]

I love them both.

[@caster3283]

100%

[@tonypearce8763]

Oh God, yes. R H all the time.

[@JN-North.Guitars]

Richtone music are great! 🤟

[@donaldcook3112]

. . . Just as long as you are prepared to pay ‘their’ price - only. The ‘Buy low - Sell high’ school of ‘doing business’.

[@theflatulentfreddy1]

Scott Walker....he's one of those guys that people always reference, even David Bowie. It's natural that someone like Hawley would get on well with him. Here's Bowie speechless as Scott wishes him happy birthday... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGGUoISVd9iLZpI&pp=ygUbYm93aWUgc2Nvb3Qgd2Fsa2VyIGJyaXRoZGF5

[@Chiller11]

I think British Rockabilly appears to be in good hands. I’m not an expert on British regional accents but his Yorkshire(?) twang drifts into something from northern Tennessee or southern Kentucky when he sings.

[@stevehowell231]

Put a lid on the ashtray. deffo 70s

[@thebrysmith3]

So Richard is friends with Martin Simpson? Yeah, like I needed another reason to like him.

[@Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55]

I'd love to know If he ever used the Vox Big Ben Overdrive pedal he (or his wife) bought off me on eBay years ago

[@ST-xg3gy]

I want that Fuzz Pedal! Where? How?👍

[@nealpike6611]

The Justin chancellor cry baby wah is only one I can think off tbh

[@BlueBeeMCMLXI]

"Vintage" in this context is the same as saying "we are stupid". OF course the guitars are ... It's only subjective as well.

[@henrykrinkle2964]

That j200 pickguard is Off Gassing. It will only get worse and damage the guitar.

[@Kurjistaja]

6:12 🤣
