England's heritage but so ignored. Give the vinyl by a Brit in 1990. Took the "Trumpton Riots" as great post punk angst, didn't get the joke until 1996 when I saw an add for the series.

DVD Verdict Review - The Old Grey Whistle Test: Volume 3

For nearly 16 years (1971–1987) it stood as Britain's, and the BBC's, testament to the power of live musical performance. Unlike other offerings on the UK airwaves, it mandated musicianship over media, avoiding such aesthetically unacceptable ideas as lip-synching and the burgeoning video format.

“Litter louts, yes, I’ve always hated that kind of thing. I’ve always said if we can get the small things right then the rest will follow – it’s the thin end of the wedge – but my politics are local, with the community,” says Nigel, who still lives in Birkenhead, on the Wirral.

The story of Half Man Half Biscuit began in the bath in Birkenhead in 1984, where singer, guitarist and songwriter Nigel Blackwell first dreamt up the name, soon to be 'borrowed' for a song title by fellow Wirral punks Instant Agony.

BBC - Black Country - Entertainment - Half Man Half Biscuit

I first came across HMHB on a crackly old tape in 1992, and have memories of being impressed and amused by the clever lyrics, engaging guitar and quintessentially English nature.

They more than satisfied their most ardent fans with a long and enjoyable set. There were songs about the middle-aged middle class and about playing golf in the winter.

A 1986 EP, Trumpton Riots, followed Back in the D.H.S.S. to number one, but Half Man Half Biscuit shunned the spotlight; they refused several offers to perform on TV, and while enjoying a major hit with the single "Dickie Davies' Eyes" announced their break-up in the autumn of 1986.

The in-jokes are kind of universally understandable with Half Man, which sort of defeats the point. But, trying not to get too philosophical about it all, that's sort of what theyÕre good at.

Half Man Half Biscuit : Achtung Bono · Spike Magazine

I may as well declare my stance at the outset. Half Man Half Biscuit are Britain’s most under-rated band, and their singer/writer Nigel Blackwell is not only one of the land’s finest humourists and satirists, but also a chronicler of the tawdriness of modern British life whose vision is shot through with true genius.
