Heaton is the most underrated songwriter of the last 50 years. I don't share his politics but I respect him fo runnng the BS as a co-op. And for his generosity towards people he was carrying. He is a genius, simple as tht.

I've been a huge fan of Paul since his early days with the Housemartins, the Beautiful South years, his solo career and now his renewed collaboration with Jacqui Abbot. In my opinion he is one of the greatest songwriters ever. Cole Porter meets Lennon/McCartney with a dose of Dylan and Guthrie thrown in for good measure.
