It’s the last show of October, so I’m playing DOUBLES! That’s two songs from each artist back-to-back!

This week in 1986 – The Housemartins released their album London 0 Hull 4. It was their first album and contains the singles “Flag Day”, “Sheep”, “Happy Hour” and “Think for a Minute”. Norman Cook (Fatboy Slim) was on bass & vocals. The title refers to the band’s home town of Kingston upon Hull and is in the format of a sports result. It also refers to Paul Heaton’s assertion that The Housemartins were only the fourth best band in Hull. In other words, Hull had four great bands, compared to none from London.
