Paul, in the 1989 song Love Is … you estimated your life expectancy as 52. Given that you are still going strong, any reason why you envisaged such a short lifespan? BernardMunch I found a tiny little football ground and wrote the lyrics and some of the tunes outside the bar there,” he reveals. “I think the locals were really quite bemused about what I was doing.” Heaton I still prefer to put it in songs or the odd humorous comment on stage. Social media is like Speakers’ Corner, everyone shouting at each other. For the last four years south London emcee Flohio has been consistently touted as “the next big thing”, praised for an elevated flow that tends to work best over beats that sound like they were concocted to appeal to 4am ravers tweaking on ketamine. The release of her long-awaited debut LP, Out of Heart, is a chance to rubber stamp all this hype and turn co-signs from hipster London-based music bloggers into a bigger mainstream audience.

I once saw the Beautiful South support Pere Ubu on Morecambe Bay. Any chance of playing live on sand again?

Earlier this year Heaton spoke to NME about how he and Abbott had played a number of free concerts for NHS staff as a thank you for their efforts throughout the COVID pandemic.

That’s what the song’s about – if you go out looking for trouble, you’ll find it.” Abbott is very much the junior partner in their double act. Heaton himself has a beautiful plangent voice, to which Abbott’s lovely tone and timbre is perfectly matched, so that she effectively sounds like a female version of the frontman. They harmonise delightfully, and occasionally Abbott takes the lead, or provides a second character for split narrator interactions. This approach shines on Baby It’s Cold Inside, a punchy zinger about sexual harassment, but proves confusing on Too Much for One (Not Enough for Two), a song written from a singular perspective then artificially divided in two.
