Richard Hawley, Barrowland, Glasgow

It's a brave gig-goer who chatters during Richard Hawley's performances.

"These people must be rich, they've spent £25 on a ticket and they're talking through it," he declared early on. You can sympathise with him, as Hawley's showcase deserved a rapt audience.

His own chat is worth listening to. The man with the quiff is a witty storyteller, spinning various quick, coarse yarns, while remaining an earthy enough figure that a declaration of the show as his favourite ever gig seemed a genuinely heartfelt statement.
