Anyone remember the #Housemartins?

I still cherish "Caravan of Love" to be part of my memories:

A question for the #totp bubble - was this ever aired recently? I guess I must have picked this up in the 1990s spending some time in the UK. 🤷

The Housemartins, Me and the Farmer, 1987 on Go! Discs

Released as a 12″ single from The People Who Grinned Themselves To Death, including the b-side of the 7″ single “I Bit My Lip” but also “He Will Find You Out” and “Step Outside.”

Norman Cook (who later became Fatboy Slim among many aliases), Dave Hemingway (also later in The Beautiful South), Stan Cullimore, and Paul Heaton were The Housemartins, a Christian Socialist band out of Hull. I was (and still am) a huge fan and pick up their singles/EPs whenever I find them, which is not often.

My copy, via Joe’s Albums in Worcester MA, is a UK Aston Clinton pressing.

It's Tuesday, so I figure it's time to sing along to the best pop song about having a wank

Day 13 of #30dayswild

A day of 'good news, bad news' for #hirundines here in the Chiltern Hills, SE England.

A sultry day, there were #swifts screaming and feeding over my new home all day.

However, for the first (possibly second) time in 25 years, no #housemartins nested on my friend's neighbour's house. She is so sad: they form the summer soundtrack to her day, as the swifts (used to) do mine.

How did you do with our @theLeadmill themed #threeForFriday #music #quiz round?
Yes it was the #housemartins queueing for their own gig, although to be fair to the bouncers you would expect them to use the stage door.
More questions on Friday as always!
