I think they'd go down well.

Anyone feel like some unfounded speculation?

Housemartins -  yes.
Beautiful South - rather chew my own leg off.

Paul Heaton is a legend. He IS the Beautiful South in my eyes.

Would you see them without him though?

I feel disloyal, but then, how could I not?

They were my surprise hit of 2005, I didn't really fancy anyone else Sunday night expecting a bunhc of new songs and maybe the odd old one to please the crowd, but they did a greatest hits set which was just a really great fun singalong. Really enjoyable live band.

Having said that I have no desire to see them without Paul Heaton, seems pretty pointless to me.

Theres a collection of em touring right now  under the name ..New beautiful South,   not just Heaton missing but some of the other main charactors to,      its basically a tribute band now,   and they have the f**king terrible Sandi Thom as their support act ....what a waste of money that ticket is!

Once you have seen the Housemartins at Glastonbury once you don't need to see them again!  

Beautiful South would be great though

seen him at latitude in 08. he was great

much rather him on his own than whoever the beautiful south are.

Paul Heaton would be great - but, I love Beautiful South songs.  Could he do them without the rest of them, I wonder.

To hear Song for Whoever at Glastonbury wold be cool.

Hmm Beautiful South saw the last Glasto performance where they where excellent. Seen The New Beautiful South a few times this year at various festivals & they where ok, not bad but not great but passable.

Paul Heaton solo was just dreadful last time I saw him on tour, played all his own stuff a few covers & NO Beautiful South, was very long, very dull, very poor....

My perfect sunny Pyramid Sunday afternoon would include a reformed Housemartins. Norman Cook aint been well. He should do a Dance Village set on the Friday and re-connect with his old buddies on the Sunday

Happy Hour in the afternoon would be excellent.

Saw Beautiful South at TITP ten years ago and they weren't anything special.
