In my eyes, Paul Heaton is a musical genius. One-third of 90s hit machine 'The Beautiful South', he has written and featured in hits including 'Good as Gold', 'A Little Time' and 'Perfect 10'. I went to see the Yorkshire-bred singer perform at the Groove Festival in Bray during the summer and it was at that gig that I got to see his true talent. Heaton is a songwriter with evident passion about his songs.
Fresh from appearing as lead singer of 'The Housemartins', Paul Heaton founded 'The Beautiful South' with David Hemingway. It was in 1987 that they released 'Song for Whoever', their debut single. It went straight to the top of the charts at the time and is now one of their best known works.
I'm sure you've already realised that I'm a massive fan, so that's why I've chosen to enter it into the Music Festival this October. Evin Kierans will accompany me.
I hope your looking forward to the show as much as I am. Until then, I'll leave you with a little taster of the song:
