In Argentina, they were first known for the hits "Build" and "Bow Down", suddenly one day (in the late 80's or early 90's, not sure) I found the album "London 0 - Hull 4" but it did not have the songs I already knew. I took it anyway,,,I am so happy I did bought that vinyl... Now it is one of the treasures I have in my collection.
Wow. Love that jorgeno. What a tune. What a band. Sending love from 🇬🇧 to 🇦🇷 Maradona is a god and we need no flags. We need music and football 👊🏼 Listen to Jamie t
One of my favorite bands in college here in the US. I came to this video after watching a video of Heaton and Jacqui Abbot singing on a morning show. Their voices still sound amazing.
The real joy of acquiring a turntable after a 30 year gap is when I dig out old albums like London 0 Hull 4. Been listening to these songs all week - brilliant stuff.
in my 50s now ...... having a night on youtube catching up with my younger days a rudeboy at heart but i wore out 3 needles ( young folks will be googling now) playing my London 0 Hull 4 vinyl One of my fav bands, probably not in my top 3 of all time, but definitely in my top 5 Flag day would be one of my desert island discs. awesome vocals on that one
Random but related.. I found CD version of Miaow by The Beautiful South at a car boot sale for 50p. Played it in the car on the way back. Me and my mate started talking about The Housemartins.. good memories.
These are inspirational...have been that in my life....my dad cleaned their. Window's....and I just sang their songs loudly for years....after biting my lip, and thinking for a minute...I did it....love them.
Norman Cook ( fatboy slim) was asked about a Housemartins reunion... "years ago we all had lunch together and reiterated that fact, with the caveat that we would only consider reforming if the Smiths reformed, which will only happen when the royal family abdicates.” So in the perfect world and in my biggest dream one random day Morrisey and Johny fuckin Marr anounce The Smiths are back for one last tour, after that The Housemartins are back too.... so freakin hilarious... not in this lifetime
Aca otro mas...jejeje...les aseguro somos muchos...yo los tengo tatuados, a ellos y a los beautiful south...y si me pongo en modo fan fan...tuve la suerte de conocer a Paul en Hull en 1996, me quede una semana casi compartiendo con el...y el 2003 me invito a ver los shows de beautiful south en Londres en Sheperds bush empire...y despues estuve en el after show party con el y los demas...hasta hay seguimos en contacto...sabe mucho de argentina...son las bandas de mi vida
Great gig. I had this on VHS tape for years. It wasn't Alton Towers, though. It was the City Lites nightclub in Farnworth, Bolton. (Disapeared many years ago.)
Did anyone else see them at Glastonbury 86 it was hilarious when the crowd were all watching some hippy up a ladder and Paul Heaton stopped the gig and said what's is everyone looking at.
Sad to see that (Peter Simon) who introduced this fine concert ..is now selling wares on the shopping channel ..ps house martins reunion soon please ..you've been away too long
The Housemartins' humour and lack of pretension is what set them apart from all their peers, and endeared them to the nation. Now we can look back and say they were much better than 'quite good'.
Who are the Smiths? Housemartins so underrated it's unbelievable. Clever, quirky, catchy ... Build, Happy Hour, The people who grinned themselves to death ...
Yes! get them to reform and maybe as well can include their various side gigs that they have done since there break-up :-( The Beautiful South and Fatboy Slim
That was the exact reason I searched for housemartins. I was listening to Morrissey and knew I´ve heard him before. Then i remembered an old housemartins cd i had years ago and they sound so similar.
@@drssexy2142LUCA GEORGE PRODAN estudió en Escocia , el mismo colegio del Príncipe Carlos, luego vivió en Londres dónde trabajó en la disquera Virgin Récord. En 1980 vino a la Argentina para escapar de la heroína, en 1981 fundó la banda SUMO hasta su muerte el 22 de diciembre de 1987. Te recomiendo un tema: ESTALLANDO DESDE EL OCÉANO/ SUMO
