ARTIST BACKGROUND

About The Beautiful South

The Beautiful South developed after the Housemartins, with Paul Heaton and Dave Hemingway central to the new group. Its recordings paired bright melodies and jazz-influenced pop arrangements with sharply observed lyrics. Early repertoire included Song for Whoever, You Keep It All In and A Little Time. Welcome to the Beautiful South and Choke established the album catalog, while later work included further original songs and interpretations of material by other writers.
