Facekicker Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Any fans here? Always thought he was a damn clever and funny songwriter. Edited February 11, 2015 by Facekicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Not a big fan as such but I once went to a Beautiful South show when I was about 14. From the little I remember it was decent enough however me and my friend found ourselves in the same row as a group of learning disabled adults and spent the whole time mortified that people would think we were part of that group, made worse in our eyes because some lads from a couple of years above us at school were at the same show.I wasn't big on empathy aged 14! These days I'd happily accompany any group of people in return for a decent night out. ;-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfierose Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 To answer your actual question yes he was a good songwriter, quirky and funny. Like a lot of music it was very much of it's time though, not sure that style would be as popular today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facekicker Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Yeah I can see where you are coming from. I do think Paul Heaton would crack up at your story though Edited February 11, 2015 by Facekicker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
