Last Orders at the Liars Bar: the Official Story of the Beautiful South

Product Information

From the early days of Norman Cook and The Housemartins, right up to the released of the new album in the autumn of of 1998; from Paul Heaton's outspoken left-wing politics with attitude to his twin obsessions of Sheffield United and Italian football; from the acrimonious split from Go! Interspersing his adventures with the band with comment from Billy Bragg, Norman Cook and others, Pattenden provides an intimate, even loving account of a strangely uncommunicative pop tribe. Their greatest hits album compilation was, for a while, the fastest selling release in the UK , and their album "Blue is the Colour" sold 1.

He stood there dumbstruck, shock had him by the throat and was throttling any rational response out of him. As Pattenden follows the band from booze-drenched gig to, erm, booze-drenched gig, his readers might be forgiven for gleaning little more. That means this year’s Boys Weekend with old school mates will be as much a wake as an annual excuse to cut loose and behave like they’re all eighteen again.It¹s that kind of perverse underdog pride which characterises The Beautiful South: a low-key, resolutely unstarry band, springing from the defunct Housemartins, who have nonetheless placed 19 singles in the charts, and a copy of their greatest hits album in one in every seven UK households.

Condition: This product has passed our meticulous quality checks and is guaranteed to be in good condition.We offer great value books on a wide range of subjects and we have grown steadily to become one of the UK's leading retailers of second-hand books.

Meanwhile, Thom was trying to locate them in the freezing seawater which sparkled like anthracite beneath the star shell. Will had to take some responsibility because things would likely never have unravelled as spectacularly had they not all had to suffer one final Brainmelter.

The distress flare arrowed through the upstairs bedroom window with an almighty crash, showering sparks everywhere. When they finally pluck up the courage to play his video, Will’s questions turn out to be considerably more challenging than usual – tough enough to test their bonds to breaking point. World of Books Ltd was founded in 2005, recycling books sold to us through charities either directly or indirectly. Will’s dodgy molluscs were the source of the food poisoning and it was Will who left the taps running and passed out on his bed. If you are after the text of the book then this will be absolutely fine, but it's unlikely to meet your needs for a present or as part of a collection.While we do our best to provide good quality books for you to read, there is no escaping the fact that it has been owned and read by someone else before you. We all like the idea of saving a bit of cash, so when we found out how many good quality used books are out there - we just had to let you know! But at last music journalist Mike Pattenden has blown their cover, putting The Beautiful South in print with this intriguing portrait.

One Last Question is a darkly humorous story of friendship, men ageing disgracefully and what it means to lose someone you love.But he has left his longstanding friends a parting gift – one last Brainmelter, the infamous pub quiz he used to devise every year to break up the drinking during those annual trips. The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal. Please bear this in mind before bidding - we'd love to give every one of our books a home, but we want you to be clear on what you're paying for.
