Heaton then formed The Beautiful South with The Housemartins’ drummer Dave Hemingway in 1988, and the band’s debut single (Song for Whoever) and debut album (Welcome to the Beautiful South) were released in 1989 to commercial success. They had a series of hits throughout the 1990s, including the number-one single “A Little Time”. They disbanded in 2007. Paul subsequently pursued a solo career, which produced three albums, and in 2014 he released What Have We Become?, a collaboration with former Beautiful South vocalist Jacqui Abbott.
