"The fourth best band in Hull.." ..so I'm guessing the top three may feature Throbbing Gristle, F.Y.C. and The Beautiful South..?? Do I win a prize?

Heathcote Street is clearly still student territory. The closed curtains downstairs during the day are a sure fire giveaway!
|
I keep the downstairs curtains closed during the day too (to stop people looking in, of course) and it's been 40+ years since I was a student!
|
Well if you were late getting away, dg, perhaps you might instead have visited at Whitsun?
|
I think Mick Ronson came from Hull. (Much more my generation than, say, Beautiful South)
|
Have you got Pete Frame's Rocking around Britain, dg? - fascinating reading. No index though.
I learnt years ago that Hull was where people went to study and stayed, doing anything, driving buses, you name it. |
Ah...the "closed curtains debate". Mine remained closed all morning and into late afternoon. Night-shift means got to (try) sleep during the day.
|
Touche DG...eclectic to the end...although EBTG may be stretching a point as Ben (from London) and Tracey (Brookmans Park) met and formed EBTG in Hull.
|
I lived a few doors down on Heathcote Street in 2010/11 during my second year at uni. I had a great time there, and spent a ridiculous sum in the aforementioned Chinese!
|
Paul Heaton was definitely still resident on Grafton Street during my time in Hull ('92-'96) - a friend of a friend lived next door to him. Not sure if it was the same house though.
