THE CAT CLUB (Classic Album Thursdays) presents a long playing vinyl record.
LONDON 0 HULL 4 – THE HOUSEMARTINS with special guest John Williams.
This interview took place before and after we listened to the vinyl album.
London 0 Hull 4 is a varied, tuneful and captivating listen which is as equally enthralling musically as it is thought-provoking lyrically. While you may not necessarily agree with Heaton's leftist views, at the very worst this album will cause you to consider what you believe in and at best encourage you to actively develop your own personal ideology. Or you can close your left-brain for the night and just enjoy the music
Producer of the Housemartins’ 1986 classic debut album, JOHN WILLIAMS has also worked with the Proclaimers, Robert Plant, Jethro Tull, The Waterboys, Debbie Harry and, of course, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott and many others. The John Williams Syndicate album, Out Of Darkness was released in 2021 and John has recently co-written xpropaganda’s new album, The Heart Is Strange.
In the interviewer’s chair was a friend of us all, IAN CLAYTON.
This event took place on 25 August 2022 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire (Due to popular demand an extra show was added the night before).
