Currently celebrating 25 years since the release of his first ever hit single (The Housemartins' glorious top 5 tune 'Happy Hour' was released in May 1986), Mr Paul Heaton releases a new single 'The Old Radio' on April 4th on Proper Records. 'The Old Radio' is taken from Paul's acclaimed album 'Acid Country' which was released in September 2010.
2010 also saw Paul embark upon his much heralded 'Pedals and Beer Pumps' tour. These dates saw Paul travel to 16 pubs by bicycle, cycling over 1000 miles in the process and playing some of the best shows of this career. Starting off at the Rovers Return on Coronation Street and fitting in a quick date at the Woolpack in Emmerdale, the dates saw him highlighting the plight of local boozers and celebrating cycling as an environmentally friendly (and very healthy) method of touring.
