Richard Hawley plays 'Careless Love' by Big Bill Broonzy on his 1936 Gibson L-Century | Guitar.com

In part five of our interview series with Richard Hawley he sits down with his beloved circa 1936 Gibson L-Century.
Built between 1933 and 1941, it was made in conjunction with the Chicago-held World’s Fair that was commemorating the “Century of Progress”, an attempt to kick-start the economy during the crisis of the Great Depression.
Hawley acquired the guitar via his neighbour and friend Martin Simpson who helped him on his journey to find a guitar that was "as good as my Dad's old J-200 that got stolen."
Richard Hawley's new album, Further, is out now. Visit www.richardhawley.co.uk/ for more information.

Richard Hawley is a national treasure - how he isn’t better known by the mainstream media etc is a mystery to me.

[@tom4v52]

Completely agree with you. He is one of the UK's greatest songwriters

Its time Richard was doing ARENA tours getting the recognition he truly deserves. Knocks the spots of amateurs like Jinja Sheeran - with all his songs sounding the same 🤣😂 Richard is a supreme talent beautiful melodic patterns and chord structures!! TRUE MUSIC!!👏👏👏👏👏
