Norman decided to go off and become a world famous DJ.

Housemartins forever, greetings from Croatia

Praise You, like I should...

Most underrated band ever.

Chirpy Henrietta-creator and minor guitar legend Stan without his glasses. Unusual. I remember reading about their split in NME on the bus as I was planning to buy their second album. I was peed off, I can tell you. TWO albums and they're gone?!!

Another great band from the 80s.

In Madrid they are still a legend

I literally cried when I read in the NME that they'd split up. I was 14 and they meant everything to me. A couple of months later I transferred my allegiance to The Wedding Present.

Then the Smiths split, too! Oooh, I was blinkin' annoyed.

Norman talks so different now

Tragedy for the late 80s. This band was very original.

No shame in being known for fantastic music.

Very nice!

I wonder if there is a version of "There Is Always Something There To Remind Me" somewhere with that school choir singing "It shouts out loud". I would love to hear that very much.

these Brits are always well dressed. For some it may be conservative, but for me it always has style

stan boop

And nothing was heard of them ever since 😐

Happy Birthday Norman. From the gym behind your house. Have an excellent party tonight. Thanks for the great tunes. Brighton ❤ u.

Stan isnt funny.
