Seeing Norman Cook playing bass with Paul Heaton in 2024 was not my list of things to watch out for! Awesome!!

[@visiblekoment]

There's alot people don't know about Norman. Very, very privileged, if you know you know.

[@legitibitmaster3264]

He was the bassist in the housemartins & plays guitar & bass on a lot of og fatboy slim records

[@rodrigorubioc1786]

Nice to see Paul and Norman playing together again

[@RoryLaird-tc6xp]

Never thought I'd see them play again but there great together

[@user-wx6ne9ot4r]

Been into rock music all my life. But no one can dislike this song. Stood the test of time and brings a smile to my face.

[@MpanzuSolos]

Agreed the beautiful south and housemartins are my guilty pleasure

[@rubyrose4024]

Made my day when he did his little dance. Love this guy ❤

[@RockstahRolln]

WOW!! So good to see Paul performing, he sounds the same!! FANTASTIC!!

[@mikekaraoke]

And Norman Cook??

[@paullecomtenz]

Damn this is freaking fantastic. How can you not be happy after that. Thanks folks

[@jszenmaster01]

Paul heaton the most underrated songwriter ever

[@user-bq9oz4mm5v]

Couldn't agree more fantastic singer/songwriter

[@sgbh8874]

He’s no Taylor Swift.

[@TUO___]

He's not though is he. He is rated by those who rate him and anyone who uses the word underrated is the one doing his rating down. So pack it in. Tell us you rate him instead of how he is the other word.

[@ryanagainagain]

The Beautiful South are one of my favourite bands and to see Paul Heaton sounding incredible all these years is so good to see! 👏🏼

[@davewestbarn]

This was a Housemartins song, I remember seeing them at my Uni after exams in 1986

how I love this song and seeing these dudes together again made me cry

[@vanessamoody2664]

For me Paul Heaton was my Glastonbury highlight

[@rescuecow90]

Same here,he never disappoints.

[@BeasleyStreet]

He is a TOP BLOKE!

[@jamespage8021]

Definitely

[@andrewslade3961]

Shame he can't remember the words to his songs though.

[@Graeme_Mc_]

​@andrewslade3961 Fair 🤭 There are a LOT of words in his songs, though. His voice has held up well though.

[@jimscarlet]

The last time I saw these two together was on that very stage, it was early on the Sunday morning in 1986, I was down the front, badly hungover and desperate to get home to watch the big game on tv later that evening. They were as brilliant as ever that day, so good to see them back together, albeit very briefly.

[@rc5759]

Wonderful musician and a wonderful fellow. The generosity and humility of this guy is so genuine - the causes he supports, where he puts his money, even the house he lives in.

[@robwhitton7399]

Pure class and full of happiness and fun just as it should be!! We salute you👍👏

[@traphex]

This brought tears to my eyes...

[@mooncat.787]

Strangely it did me too. Where have all those years gone ?

[@londonseprimarypehealtha-it5ku]

Love it! Very happy memories of Hull University and Grafton Street - home of Paul Heaton and the birth of The HouseMartins.

[@howiebiteme]

Mainbrace massive

[@Gilberdykepo]

I worked in Grafton Street Jacksons after leaving Hull Uni and saw Paul and the boys most days after they had got up and been to Skeltons.

[@harrycaul2494]

I used to live on Churchill grove, around the back of Grafton St. 1990-91

[@audioreviews]

I came from Germany, joined Hull University Ents. Lived on Marlborough Avenue. Good times.

[@msgretrogamer]

Paul Heaton must be one of the best songwriters we've produced. And he sounds great even now too.

[@petermorris3665]

In the charts for my first term at Uni. Oh what simple and happy days they were. This song always takes me back 😊

[@guitarball]

This made my day. Had no idea Cook/Slim still plays bass. Sounds great!

[@richymoore]

It’s actually shocking the amount of people that don’t know that Norman Cook was a successful musician many years before he became a DJ. One of the biggest British bands of the 80’s and various other short lived bands after the Housemartins. I was more shocked when he became Fatboy Slim, can still remember him being referred to as “the housemartins bass player” for many years before the name Fatboy Slim stuck.

[@K_____]

That’s crazy and I actually never knew that. Always known him as fat boy slim. Thanks for the info.

[@jasonhudson4209]

Saw The Housemartins at Glastonbury in...1986...... 38 years ago! blimey.

[@gemmastaines5706]

Does Norman/Fatboy Slim still look the same???

[@mooncat.787]

And Paul's still grooving the The Happy Hour shuffle at 62. C'mon, Cmon, C'mon.

[@ianbannister8404]

Absolutely joyous
