The Housemartins helped make my otherwise awful 1980s tolerable. No matter how horrible school and college became music was always there when I got home. Mr. Cullimore made me smile and I recently read his children's book Henrietta's Sweet Surprise, which was a hoot. His guitar playing was simple, to the point and he wrote some smashing little power pop songs with Mr. Heaton. Their b-sides were often very good, and this is one of them. Thanks, lads.
This is brilliant. Always loved buying the 12” versions of their singles when they came out, because they contained 3 b sides.The b sides were amazing.
I bit my lip back then ...and then realized the grass was actually greener...thankyou housemartins for such inspiration....my dad cleaned your windows in Grafton Street and I was a big big fan....
One of my fav Housemartin's tunes. B-side of Me and The Farmer. Bought it as a cassette single if anyone remembers those and it came with a couple of badges. eventually got it on 12 vinyl at the Woolies xmas sale.
Hello again it must be nearly the weekend!....does anyone else know what I mean when I say there was a feeling in these songs that you knew had to end but you didn't want to?...asking for a mate...
