The album was the Sheffield musician’s third solo LP and his first for Mute Records. It represented a major breakthrough, earning him a Mercury nomination and widespread critical acclaim.

In other news, Hawley recently announced that he will play one final show at the Leadmill in Sheffield this month, before its current owners are evicted.

Last month, the iconic venue was denied an appeal against their eviction notice from Electric Group and given three months to vacate the premises on Leadmill Street. Their final event will be held on Saturday, June 28.

Hawley, a Sheffield native with close ties to the venue, will play there for the last time on June 18. “One final time with the man who has played here more than anyone else,” the venue said in the announcement, describing him as a “Sheffield icon and Leadmill family member”.

Tickets for the show, which will feature support from Tom Hickox, went on sale last Monday (June 9). You can find any remaining tickets here.

Last month, Hawley spoke to NME about his “overwhelming sense of sadness” over the Leadmill’s closure, pleading for the government to change the law to stop the same thing from happening to other venues.

The venue was first served an eviction notice in 2022 – to the uproar of music fans and artists alike – when it emerged that Electric Group had bought the freehold for the site of the Leadmill in March 2017.

The Electric Group runs a number of venues across the UK, including Electric Brixton, and has vowed to keep the building as a music venue that will “continue to be a cornerstone of the live music scene in Sheffield, supporting artists, fans, and community projects for the next 100 years”.
