- Half Man Half Biscuit frontman Nigel Blackwell appeared on Stuart Maconie's BBC Radio 6Music show "Freak Zone" on 29 July 2018 to talk about the new album, Birkenhead and more. Enjoy.
He truly is a prince among men. Or an arch duke, at least
Thanks for sharing Chris. Very few people have written stuff that makes me smile & laugh as much as this bloke.
"The best thing to come out of Birkenhead since some famous ship, so famous I cant remember"!!
This is an absolutely brilliant interview by Maconie! Half Man Half Half Biscuit are simply one of the best things to come out of The Wirral. Utterly fantastic. Nigel Blackwell is a genius!
HMHB is best listened to and not dissected
Exactly, Stuart Marconi should stick to making radios or whatever he does
Great to hear what Nigel has to say, seen them many times live, quality!!🙂
Hi Gordon. Seen these wirral warriors many times alover the years.. Never can enough...Truly ingenuis lyrics. Keep our bands from alive. Thanks for comment. 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️🤣🤣🤗
Quality also ' qual' way back from 86. One to another.. Fusion on stage of this...No one will capture this kind of sense or real magic.. Drunken mad man and loved every minute.. Got loads of fun and vinals, cds.. I believe there's a band in limerick by the name Half man half arsed.. X👍🎶🎶🙏😜🎸🚲🚷🤣
Nigel such a creative genius!
Nigel is a cracking down to earth man .
He's a prick, lol. I love him
My first album I bought.. Back in the DHSS
Hard lines
Excellent! Thanks for sharing 😊
there's a rumour round my way that HMHB did a full on Scottish funk track under the name The Average White Van...
trying to find the 12" as I write
God bless you. I've not heard this rumour. Let me know how the search goes and thanks for the comment!! 😂👍👍👍🙏🤔
Thanks for uploading this Chris. You are an absolute gem. Notice that TH-cam have categorised this as Comedy, which I think Nigel would appreciate. Could have done with another 55 minutes or so.
Yes, a bit disappointingly lightweight, seeing as Stuart sp clearly appreciated it was a rare opportunity.
Blackwell and the band deserve at least a two hour documentary. The man is a genious, but let's not forget the contribution of Carl, Neil, and Charlie.
Great interview, good rapport. Top blokes, both of them.
Sir Nigel De Blackwell, Dole Laureate, I bought "The Trumpton Riots E.P. in Probe, Mathew Street.XXXX
I loved that Thanks for posting .
enjoyed that... cheers for uploading..
since 85.. it's always been about the mundane and dark in Blackwell's writing as much as the humour..
Redditch Utd FC gig.... corker!
Swiftian Moralist 👍🏻
I've said this on a tedious number of occasions but Nigel Blackwell should've been knighted long ago.
Knighted? I think he would think that's a load of bollocks
He didnt seem to mind that eh, good to hear him less strained than most other interviews I've heard.
JUNIOR KICKSTART! hahahahaha
Geoff Davies eyes.. God bless all of you over at Sydenham.. And I've been thinking of when i met this man in ' 99 at a York gig with a cheque for merchandise and his hand written outstanding attention to fans.. Truly caring about his bands and getting to point! You can't touch them. Entrance to George Gershuin. XX📞👍✒️🖍️📃🏆
Morrisey references 'Birkenhead' in The Smiths song 'What she said'.
theres a man with a mullet going mad with a mallet in millets, no less
I love that line, also, "There is nothing better in life than writing on the sole of your slipper with a biro"
What's Nigel say at 6:57? "or Westsiiide, as we like to say in ??????" - (sounds like it begins with an R or B?)
Birkenhead?
@@paul-xt5pp Def not, whatever the word is it's only 2 syllables.
Half past 4!Half past 4! You said half past 10 to us..! 🎸🙏🙏👍🎶🎶🎹📞📞📞📞😂
@@paul-xt5pp Jegsy Dodd and all things probe and.. 😂🎶🎹🎸🎸🎸🌏💤💤
West side of "Wirral"!
Everyone fawns over devine comedy's neil hannon and jarvis cocker but hmhb are worth a million of both these bands. I hate that line in national express where hannon sings 'her arse is the size of a small country'. Lazy lazy nasty mean writing
I hope your train back home's a DC10. Well she did think Robin Asquith was funny.
Its basically the Northern version of chas and Dave, with a bit of humour and irony thrown in. I just wish he was much more aggressive towards all these media twat types, i think there's a need for a more militant version of HMHB where humour meets rage meets LVT flooring
