2007 has been an excellent year for Richard Hawley. His outstanding new release Lady’s Bridge
This recording was made from the ideal location at this venue, in the center of the floor. While there is a minor amount of chatter from the sold-out crowd, the results are superb.
Hawley’s management responded to a pre-show email request to record. While permission was not granted, the response said “its your choice if you bring it [a recorder] or not”, which indicated a resigned ambivalence to the idea of a fan recording. nyctaper posts this recording in the spirit of fostering a positive relationship between Hawley and his fans, and also with the intent of exposing this amazing talent to readers of this site who may not be familiar with his work. As our disclaimer states, any recording will be removed immediately at the request of an artist. We hope that Richard Hawley will allow this recording to remain at nyctaper when the good intentions and positive mission of this site are understood.

Great recording. Thank you so much for recording this gig.
thanks for the recording (fuck yeah!) and the links.
Wow, thanks so much for putting this up.
Richard has said in several posts on his official forum as well as to me directly through PM that he’s fine with taping so if anyone else can tape a show on this tour, please do!
Thanks for this, I’ve been looking forward to it.
I am really happy to hear that. This is one of the better recordings offered on this site, and does show Richard in a good light, a quality performance with quality sound. I hope nyctaper readers unfamiliar with him will download this and discover an amazing talent.
Captures it all beautifully – thank you for the effort you’ve put into recording this show. I can’t wait to see Richard in the UK in February.
Richard played a short in-store set at Other Music tonight, which sadly I could not make.
There are some nice photos of the Other Music appearance here:

A couple of firsts for me.
First show downloaded from here (despite lurking for months) and first time using “Down Them All”.
Many thanks for the fine work on the site and recording.
Dave.
