I turned up in hull 1991, with a kit bag full of everything I owned, i went to The Grafton to use the phone to get a place to spend the night. I left and came back, left and came back.then I heard a voice ask "are you locked out mate?" I said no I'm homeless." The geezer then picked up the phone and started loading 10p coins into it and phoned all the B&Bs and hotels but then turned and said, 'I've had no luck but if you come back at 8pm me and my girlfriend, will make sure you have somewhere to sleep tonight." That man was Paul Heaton, a truely great human being.
Great story.
Paul Heaton, a man who doesn't just talk the talk, as evidenced by your recollection here. My hat is very much tipped in his direction and yours also, nice one brother.
Paul Heaton is a good man
"I'm a man of the people I've had it all but at the same time nothing. Then you came along and gave me something". I've just wrote that so.. wow ur story inspired me.
During lockdown about april 2020 i bought a t shirt with "think for a minute" on it. it was a statement about think about your actions.. ok to be in the face of someone in iceland.. like 30cm from my mrs.. some asshole did that when we were supposed to avoid spreading our germs to each other by being so close!
Still Listening in 2023. Paul Heaton Legend. Power to the people!
Great singer great songwriter and more importantly a great human being.
I will never tire of hearing this man's music or hearing him speak a legend of British music
Criminally underrated...the man is an absolute genius.
Best songwriter! Best realist! Best then best now best forever! The Toffs are not clever enough to acknowledge it! :)
ONE OFTHE BEST SONGWRITERS AROUND AND WITTY AND CLEVER WITH IT.
Paul comes across as a very humble man, despite being a brilliantly gifted songwriter.
Heaton´s no.1 fan from Indonesia watching from Peru.... how i wish i could see the beautiful south live at least once in my lifetime....
'Everyone has got an opinion on how far you cook a sausage.'
Absolutely loved the informality of it all. This country has a terrible habit. And it's got nothing to do with alcohol and drugs. It has to do with turning its back on our national treasures. Especially those who catalogue the times in a tuneful way and crystalize the psyche of a country still hiding behind the living room sofa in case the TV licensing man knocks the door. Hats off to Paul ❤
Paul, if you see this; you put me in the local paper when I was born ( baby Rosie to Sue and Terry) and my little 7 year old daughter now listens to your music❤ and I’ve been a massive fan since childhood. Hull and proud 💕
This guy should be the next priminister of the UK
You deserve lots and lots of awards-you are loved and massively appreciated
Paul heaton such a great human being and down to earth guy he is what you call a very down to earth guy and he is a great humanbeing and like the guy next door there is nothing posh about him and hes never forgotten were he came from
One of this country's greatest songwriters
Down to earth guy watching this after his belfast concert converted my friend to his music 20 thousand people singing and dancing. Amazing career and what a voice
He's got my respect... Whether he likes it or not.
I've been telling anyone who'll listen that Paul Heaton will be recognised as one of the 20th century's greatest poets in time.
I REMEMBER PLAYING FOOTBALL WITH ALL 4 HOUSEMARTINS IN THE UNDERPASS NEXT TO THE ROYAL COURT THEATRE, BAND AGAINST FANS, ABSOLUTELY LOVELY REAL DOWN TO EARTH GUYS. IT WAS LIKE PLAYING WITH YOUR MATES FEELING. THANKS LADS.
Top man paul heaton
Paul Heaton is a true lyrical genius, The Housemartins and The Beautiful South are fantastic bands
A comment I can agree with. Facts, but let's not get too carried away.
Love the guy, so honest, and his integrity shines through, exceptional song writer
Amazing songwriter and vocalist. Legend
What a bloke what a singer song writer just a LEGEND
Christmas 1986. The Housemartins had come off the A1 at Birtley and got lost on the way to a gig at Newcastle University. I got the job of going in a cab to get in their van and guided them in. They were funny in a way that a kid from a pit village who spent his schooldays looking out of windows and getting into trouble for it (you can look out of a window and listen) found very familiar. They were bottom of the bill and blew everyone else away. Paul could really dance. If there is one person I've ever met I wish I could talk to again, it would be him.
so enjoyable from start to finish
Love Paul Heaton such a down to earth normal guy but what a talent
From Ireland - Have been a fan since I was 18 ( 1988 ) Go Paul !!!
My brother made me a mix tape in Jan '87 (I remember, 'cause it was called "Jan '87" Mix"). It had Happy Hour on it and I was instantly in love!
As soon as I opened the video and saw his backgroud I knew I was in the right place
Bless Paul Heaton and all who sail with him.
Just beautiful if you haven't been lucky enough to go and see him live do it when you can!!!! Nationalize the lot it's ours! Paul has never forgot where he came from! Huge respect!
Wonderful stuff. Can't be many people as successful who have stayed so true to themselves. The Housemartins were one of the reasons I went to Hull University (having grown up not far from where Paul found himself as a kid in Surrey, having also been a bit of a fish out of water - with family roots up north and a lonely allegiance to a northern football club - and also developing a shared obsession with Italian casual labels). By coincidence, I ended up living in his street in Hull, but was aware by then that he had a (probably healthy) disdain for students. Saw him at LA's club in Hull a fair bit, but never had the the bottle to approach him. Still don't think I would now. A genuine hero.
Is there anything better than clever, thought-provoking pop! Looks and sounds so easy but, oh boy, the talent of Paul Heaton!!
Always be best songwriter of all ever.
What a champ
That were a brill way to spend an hour. Top lad that Heaton
Awesome doco, brings back so many memories now that I am down in NZ. Remember Beautiful South at Corn Exchange in Cambridge when they came on stage late and drunk and then sobered up during the night....what a gig!
He got his award at the end!
Wow, he has always been one of my favorite artists since the housemartins. The end had me blubbering. One of the only 'famous' people I would like to meet and shake their hand.
Three chords, old red eyes. Brilliant song. Up there with the best.
Underrated voice, song writer and man. Living legend. Ur a joy Paul
Not.underrated
“Think for a minute” … what a great track.
Makes me realise, watching him at work that I will NEVER be a song writer !
That was a fascinating insight. I am really pleased I watched this. What an ordinary bloke, with such amazing talent. God bless him.
Paul Heaton you are a wonderful entertainer-top notch and a better person-never give up what you do -you make a difference
Watched with a lump in my throat,what a guy..hosemartins rip ..got me like it was yesterday ❤
His recollection of lying in bed listening to radio Luxembourg on a Sunday night brings back memories of me doing that too and being told by my step mum my radio would be confiscated if I didn't go to sleep because I'd be late for school in the morning.
Seen him twice in last 12 months what a man 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Me too
Thanks for posting this. I saw it on Ch4 originally and wanted to watch it again but it wasn't available anywhere. Enjoyed this even more on 2nd viewing. Paul Heaton certainly deserves accolades for his song writing skills. A real all round top bloke!
Wow great Documentary on Paul Heaton 'House Martins "Beautiful South" Jacqui Abbot and Paul so underrated really enjoyed the insight
Paul is a solid bloke, when he lived in Hull I bumped into him in a Deli & we chatted about football hooliganism & Northern soul, sound bloke.
Off to see paul and jacqui tomorrow night. Very much looking forward to it.
What a great doc. Thanks for putting this up. Fantastic song writer. Always loved him. The man's got endless soul
"Everyone's got an opinion on how far you go with a sausage." Legend.
I'm staggered to hear such a iconic lyricist and singer hasn't been recognised with a bag of awards. Please, petition those music industry representatives who need to be contacted and right this wrong immediately.
National treasure
Made my day to see Paul singing on Bob and Paul Whitehouse's fishing show, national
treasure xxx
he deserves a legends award
I say what a blooming legend
Thank you for this, wouldn’t have been able to see it otherwise, as I’m not in the UK. What a beautiful music maker and human being he is.
Hope you enjoy it while you can. I don't don't know how long before it is taken down.
Dan Tweedy Thanks for the under-the-radar (?) upload, I know it won’t be here forever. Cheers!
@@dantweedy So glad it's still up and I got to see it.
He’s adorable!
wow, it is so good to see and hear Paul, I have been drawn to his music for years and now I understand why, same politics same accent even. I was listeneing to Choke when our ship came under missle attack in 1991. Hms Gloucester
Nice man Paul Heaton ..Extremely learned ..
Brilliant documentary, loved it. I live in Australia now but remember the early stuff when I grew up in Wales. Rediscovered the tunes recently on spotify, unbelievable music, most underrated musician ever.
This man is a legend to me.
A real hero of mine
IMHO one of this country's best songwriters, more hooks than captain birdseye
Voice of an angel
Than you SO much, I am in France and I was so frustrated I could not watch it ! You've made my day
One of the most distinctive sounds in music you can hear. A genius in my opinion. I saw at a V festival of all places and he was brilliant. Never stop Paul.
Fabulous - the man, his socialism and songs. "More than a hero" was right.
But he likes the money
@@theoilandgasresourceportal2132 Yep, it's okay for socialists/liberals/progressives to like money, but apparently it's not if you're on the other side. Go figure, eh? He's got a good ear for melody, though...
@@theoilandgasresourceportal2132 I love how he's got under your skin. Delicious.
Thank you so much!!! I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Paul Heaton, what an underrated musician and song writer
National. Fucking. Treasure.
Many thanks for sharing this, What a genius Paul is
The Housemartins are so underrated. The Beautiful South not as much, because I think they appealed to more people? Anyway, 'Build' and 'Bow Down' and 'Hopelessly Devoted To Them' are three of my favourites. I just thought I'd share that with the comment section.
I can also see there's no abuse being thrown about in the comment section like usual. Music, the great healer and tonic.
The People Who Grinned Themselves to death will always put me in an amazingb mood. That song bumps, follow it up with Bow Down and I dare someone to not start bebopping to music. lol
@@phloydaz21 Yes mate. I agree. Add Hopelessly Devoted To Them and me and the Farmer to that playlist and that could turn the darkest of days into sunshine 🌞
I'm humming along to hopelessly devoted now
@@Ruloathesome In the morning, when I'm woken by the sound of my alarm ⏰ 👌✌
Thanks for this. A man and his music that mean so much to me. I last seen him at King Tutts Sept 2010, a gig I'll never forget.
@49:26 THAT is the pinnacle moment I was waiting for! Jackie didnt directly admit she was working in a supermarket at the time (why not though?) but as I remember back in the early 90s thats exactly where she was discovered because she was singing as she was stacking shelves ffs 🤣 F ing best way to find her again and re-encounter her former encounter with Paul. Best thing that ever happened to Beautiful South. xxxx
Live in Barcelona so no Channel 4. Thanks for this, fascinating and emotional.
52 mins in.... I remember the drinking days of Paul at the live mic gigs, Apollo Manchester/Blackburn (mid 90s) just for two examples, he couldn't sing without the pint next to him, even in breaks he would prop up the public bar Infront of everyone, he didnt give a fig, was always friendly though, great doo and fun at the time must admit so "Old red eyes" seemed legit at the time. xxx (I say it with love)
Love Paul and the lads....and Jaqui of course.. Housemartins were and are the soundtrack to my life....
So many things I loved at that time reappeared in this documentary. Housemartins and The Beautiful South music in the first place.
It's a very very good feeling again 😊.
Always felt Paul Heaton is a very special person, you would like to be best buddy with.
Writing as an upper middle class, privately educated, Tory-voting beneficiary of the Thatcher years, I think Paul Heaton is a ****ing genius. A brilliant song writer with a true social conscience. I've just re-connected with Hull 1, London 0 and it is pure musical joy. Thank you Paul for your art and your superb contribution to the world of music.
Hey! As a Yank, I am a Reagan Republican who is an enormous PDH fan. So I agree whole heartedly with you.
Fantastic
what a fantastic video, im from hull. thank you for the upload. thanks paul xxx
Build . my fave song I'm a survivor of places like Consett, Ravenscraig.. the torie etc
Well you've proved them all wrong. The words in your songs are genius,your a northerner Mr. Heaton through and through. I'm seven years younger than you. And i liked the house Martin's,but i absolutely love the Beautiful South especially with Jacquie Abott your just amazing. Your an awesome vocalist and Jacquie too,your a legend i don't think there's anything kind of music you couldn't sing.🎶🎵💯
Incredible viewing! Thank you x
National treasure. Took me a long time to realise just how subversive The Beautiful South were.
Paul Heaton once cleaned my kitchen. 100% true story.
Thank you for uploading.
I agree - working class hero - what a gem, northern class hero!
Although I'm obviously familiar with, and like, a fair bit of Paul's work dating back to The Housemartins, I've never really considered myself a fan as such, but I knew I'd like this documentary - and I did.
Weirdly, I always remember having a pale blue Puma sweatshirt for Christmas '87, then seeing Dave Hemingway wearing one on the cover of Smash Hits! (Special mention for Anna Ford at 35:49.. Phwooar).
A refreshing blast of real .
We can change the face of the UK by just not being afraid to be US! Us, not US Us!
Huge respect
Thank you!
Brilliant loved it.Thanks for sharing it
Thanks for putting this up.
Really enjoyed it.
The only muso who implemented the segregated Goodies’ piano with his vinyls. Paul is a real musical treasure and is definitely on the spectrum😜
Brilliant documentary on a really interesting man. And what a fabulous collection of music that has sprung from that well! Complex and different. But aren't all the best things in life?
Cheers, thanks for sharing this great doc!
I say what a legend
lots of memories flooding back. wow. thanks for uploading this
