We went to see The South, the latest incarnation of the 90's group Beautiful South last night. And what a show they put on! Almost 2 hours of non stop hits and some new songs as well. I saw the original line up with Paul Heaton many times years ago and, although there's now only 1 member of the group left, they still put on a great performance. If you're a fan it's well worth going to see them if they visit your area.

I will certainly look out for this. Remember The Housemartins? Any of their songs included?

I remember sat in the company of PH back in the day in Grafton pub, Newland area of Hull. You’ll no doubt know this area M👍🏻. PH had a great voice he was very unassuming in person, really nice guy.

Never heard them live but I thought his best female band partner was Briana Corrigan. Could really associate with the social comment being portrayed in many of the songs of both Hms and BS.

No Housemartins songs - would have like to hear Happy Hour again!

Alison did pay tribute to Briana before she sang Bell Bottomed Tear!

Edit - agree about JacquI Abbott - but so many of the songs just make it easy for the vocalists.Great stuff!

Yes, we were encouraged to sing along to that - and invited to use the original lyrics!

'A Little Time' was probably my favourite but their cover version of Lynne's 'Livin' Thing' was pretty good too. To be honest, practically all their efforts were very enjoyable.
