The first place I’ve lived where I truly feel at home - the gorgeous Brighton & Hove. Sometimes home is a feeling rather than a physical place. This city is so special to me.

Bristol, Clifton Suspension Bridge In this city we call you ‘my luvver’. Your new album is gurt lush. Tracey and Sean

Oban on the West coast of Scotland. Gateway to the Isles, and the home of the sunset. The most peaceful place on earth, where you can just sit and look at views like this, and let the world go by.

Toronto: TO; T-dot; the 6; derived from an Iroquois term meaning 'where there are trees in water“. I’m still learning to love her, because my heart is somewhere else. Maybe when I let her in, she’ll tell me more of her secrets.

My city called Mexico, which means “navel of the moon”, keeps us with our minds on the moon, we live in love with our people, our culture, in love with love, and in love with welcoming everyone to show them why we live in the moon day by day, despite the great inequality, always with a smile under the sun.

Even though many have moved on , Burton Upon Trent, a declining brewery town ( like many towns in England ),still represents the heartbeat of our youth, the forgery of great friendships with the best of humans. A town full of memories and wonderful people .It’s a bit like marmite but home to the best pint of ale world . I’m out town people call you duck. Much love Schmaughan xxx

Berlin, the weight of the XX century and the assault of the infinite now. Yet, even if in danger, still home and somewhat uncompromising. My home, with Milan, with my love
From: Manuel
Our footsteps walk the same great city Richard. The city that's spawned many music greats over the years. But you sir, sit at the top of the pile for me. Lyrically & musically superb, your songs mean so much to so many of us Thank you
From: Steve
You lose one home, you find another. Since we settled down in Tel Aviv, I fell in love with the city. With its crowded bars and empty night buses. Colours of Jaffa and white walls of Allenby bauhaus. Waves crashing the shore and football chants booming on the Bloomfield stadium. Vibrant noise of Florentin on Thursay evening and a stillness of Old North on Saturday morning, when only cats rule the streets. Purim carnival on Nachalat Binyamin and, equally passionate, protest rallies on Kaplan. Perhaps Aristotle said it best: "multitude of human beings, differing in kind". And I'm grateful for that feeling - you belong to the city, the city belongs to you.
From: Dmitrii
Beautiful place. Beautiful buildings. Beautiful people. Beautiful football team. Beautiful humour. You can laugh here. You can cry here. You can dream here. You can have leave me on my own days here. You can live and die here. It's a small town in Europe. It's my town. It's Middlesbrough.
From: Chris
Toronto. A big city of small neighbourhoods where most everyone lives in harmony. Compassion, tolerance, acceptance and love are woven throughout. And it’s damn pretty too!
From: James MacPhee
I was born here. For me it has everything and more. For me this is home.

My city is Sheffield The friendliest, greenist, diverse, big village - a City of Sanctuary to many over the years - and it’s my home on this precious planet
From: AnnG
Sheffield is a city full of love. A community who nod their ey ups to strangers. A friendly face in unfamiliar places. A beer with a man and his dog. A shared story to break smiles on sad days at the bus stop or the supermarket queue. It is a city full of friends, some you haven't met yet. And what a wonderful place we call home. Alreyt love x
From: Christina
Listen to your music is always a pleasure. Thank you Richard from Italy
From: Alberto
New York isn't so much a large city as much as countless neighborhoods where you see friends and neighbors every time you walk out your door. From the moment you move to New York, you're accepted no matter your looks, fashion (or lack of), or style. All we ask is that you're a good person.
From: Kevin

For every heavy rain I went through, I hope there’s one heavy rain that I can meet my lover. Thank you Richard Hadley for accompany me with your music. Greetings from Indonesia.
From: Farhan
When I hear you in my car, Richard, on the road, here, in Chile, on the other side of the map, it’s weird, but I feel that strange familiar sensation that Darwin wrote when he saw the deepness of our pacific ocean. “I from that inner sea”, he said. The same feeling I feel when I listen to your records. They’re like my home outside my home. My town on the road. Love u Richard and thanks for the ride!

History in Stirling abounds, but the stunning beauty of the Ochils hills has stolen my English heart.
