Richard Hawley - Hotel Room

I think he got it just right Matty, but you're right with another 20 or so overs we'd have probably won... At the start of play having 50 overs at them was widely seen as the wisest move. Great test, sets the rest of the tour up nicely.

Morrissey has a massive Latino following in US, apparently the gang members put all 'beefs' aside for Mozza. Let us know how it goes Mark.

Thought Bellew let himself down with his rant at Haye, calling him a 'bitch' was extremely poor really, if you're going to insult someone, insult them, bitch is just US gangsta nonsense and added little to proceedings. Thought he was reckless as the commentators said, but he got the job done and thats all that was required on the night. As for Fury, I can't help thinking the latest revelations about his mental health have been concocted to save him from a lengthy ban, its calculated and very deliberate in my opinion. I could be wrong, but thats just my thoughts on the whole debacle.

I went to see Richard Hawley in Sheffield last weekend, he was supported by John Grant an American chap with a real story behind his music. Very rarely have I been captivated, mesmerised and just stunned into silence by an artist at a gig, Bob Dylan a few years ago in Bpool was one such moment but aside from that never. Have a listen to John Grant, a chap that I've since learned has had so much turmoil in his life and was most recently diagnosed with HIV, but regardless he keeps on smiling through it all, and singing like I've hardly ever heard before. His lyrics are explicit at times and the topics he sings about are not for everyone but stunning vocals. By the way Richard Hawley was excellent as always.
