Paul Heaton gets the beers in.

He is. sixty today. In celebration of that he has put money behind the bar in sixty pubs across the UK and Ireland.
Seems a generous lad, previously he held a free concert for NHS Staff and donated a large amount of money to the staff at Q magazine.
All the pubs are listed on his Twitter account. Hoping he has a few light ales himself, good health.

    The fella is class. 
    Heard a scout master on R5 last year saying PH had paid for the refurb of the scout hut - but he wasn’t allowed to tell anyone. 😀

    The Scout fella told the story on R5, in another context (story was about Scout membership decline). He spilt the beans, then remembered he was supposed to keep the donation anonymous. 😀

    @ElfsborgAddick has caught a flight back from Sweden and is desperately trying to work out the best route to get in as many of these pubs as he possible can.

    I think it may have caused memory issues.
    I saw Paul & Jacqui Abbott a few years back & he had to have the lyrics on a music stand in front of him.
    They were still great.

    Top bloke - the song about Old Red Eye is - I believe - about himself - he was a mega drinker for years, and the song is about what he could have become - I think he is a non drinker now ??

    In any event, superb gesture 👍

    Trust you to take something so nice and generous of spirit and find a negative in it, you miserable fucker.

    Geezer could've laid on a cab to the nearest pub for you and you'd still have found fault.

    Is that the place in the middle of nowhere, about 2 miles out of Westerham  ??  If it is then the bastard could have put the money behind the bar 21 years ago as we had a meal there the day after I got married.

    Reputedly shared the songwriting royalties with his bandmates despite writing almost all the songs himself

    I was due back in work tomorrow, that is not happening now.
