[Music] Paul Heaton: From Hull to Heatongrad

[n1 gull]

I've just caught up with this on Channel 4. What an absolute joy. Loads of our Norman on it and a huge amount of hit songs, many of which I'd forgotten. A very talented and funny guy. It's very much the soundtrack of my youth. Anyway, if you are of a certain age I strongly recommend, it will bring the memories flooding back

Saw him in Shoreham when he was cycling from gig to gig, brilliant evening with Norman joining him at the end of the set.

 

[Weststander]

Love him, so talented, so creative. He always talks about disappearing to The Netherlands for his songwriting for months at a time, shutting himself away.

Is that prog available on catch up?

 

[Trotty]

Yep just downloaded it

 

[Weststander]

Yep just downloaded it

That evening at Shoreham must’ve been immense. Glad to see that PH and NC get on well ... so many former bandmates end up disliking each other.

 

[Trotty]

It was in the Duke of Wellington, it was heaving.

 

[Bob!]

Yes, but how many Ivor Novello awards does he have?

Missed that so now downloading for a weekend watch. Was never a great Housemartins fan but love the stuff he did after and especially the recent albums with Jackie Abbott.

Thanks for the heads up.

That was hysterical when Norman brought that up, not bitter.. much

This Housemartins song was great:

I was lucky enough to see him play this year in my local pub. Hatfield Main the room has about 200 in I would guess at. Had photos and a chat with him and Jacqui after the gig.

I used to live round the corner from the House of Strangeness in Hull, but I can't remember if it was on Grafton street or De Grey street. It was a long time ago.

I cant imagine those two not getting on with anyone TBH, both seem very decent and amiable people.

Jacqui’s unique vocal’s are always stunning. She would’ve been a success in any music genre.

Great recommendation. Just watched it.

Insightful, entertaining and funny. Everyone should see this.

 

[Miami Seagull]

That was great, thanks for the recommendation. Found it on YouTube.

 

[graz126]

Is Jacquie sitting on your knee?

No but she took the photo on my phone. My 1st attempt at the photo was very blurred. So she said 'give it here I can do better than that'. Both really nice people, Jacqui in particular spent a lot of time mingling, chatting with the fans.
