A map of locations namechecked in the collected works of Half Man Half Biscuit, the greatest group of recent times who are quite rightly (in the words of the late great John Peel) “A British institution”.
Created by Stuart Vallantine and a band of other HMHB fans who are just as anal in picking out place names in the collected works of Messrs Blackwell and Crossley.

Absolutely brilliant night on New Year’s Eve at the Bath House – thanks to all of you who were there, hope you managed to make it to the bar to get a drink 😉 I’m still absolutely knackered! The setlist, if anyone is interested, is up here.
I Hope you all have a great 2009, and hopefully I’ll see you at the first 24 Hour of the season on January 17!
Cheers!

From Norman Records
The humble 7″ is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5″) and it’s the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They’re fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7″. You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don’t forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
Here we go again, getting ready for gigs in 2009! First out of the blocks for January is 24 Hour Party People, on Saturday 17 January. See you there!
Cheers, Bill
So I have finally got the setlist up from last weekend’s awesome 24 Hour – if you made it down, thanks for coming – I had a blast! Apologies if I never got around to playing your request, and I’m sorry if you missed out on a CD.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support this year – it’s been brilliant! I hope you all have a great festive season, and hopefully I’ll see you on New Year’s Eve!
Cheers,
Bill
