Do You Come Here Often?
Hello

Most of you will now know that the title of my new album is named after a corner in Sheffield where lovers used to meet. Many people are alive today because love bloomed there. I'd be grateful if you could contribute too, with stories of how you met your partner or if you know any great stories about how other people you know met, the dafter or more romantic the better. Maybe how your mother and father or grandparents met?

You can email your stories to us at richard.hawley1@virgin.net, just include 'Do You Come Here Often?' in the message header.

Alternatively, there will be notebooks passed around the audience at the UK shows and some will be left on the merchandise stand. Write your story in one of the notebooks and pass it on to someone else so that they can write theirs. If you're left with one at the end of the night, please return it to the merchandise stall.

We intend to publish some of the best stories next year.

Many thanks
Love, Hawley
