Richard Hawley, Olympia, Dublin  ★★★★☆

I don’t know what you were doing when you were 16, but Richard Hawley – according to the man himself – was already writing songs as marvellous as Just Like The Rain. The 58-year-old reckons it proves he was always miserable and that tune is also just one of the jewels that adorn 2005’s masterwork, Coles Corner.
