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.
