Further

Description

Further marks a departure for Hawley who has, to date, named all his albums after Sheffield icons or landmarks in his home city. For his new work, however, he wanted to capture the intention of moving forwards, but without jettisoning his past.

Further was conceived with the here and now in mind. Were all bombarded by so much hateful stuff at the moment that I was determined to make something that is really loving, says 52-year-old Hawley. Some of the songs definitely reflect that and deal with whats going on. Not Lonely is a good example. It deals with the stage that I hope our children get to, that stage where they can have a place of their own, being able to find their own space and luxuriate in it.
