    Inteviewed by Colin Patterson on Radio 5 Live this morning on the occasion of the first gig at Brighton's new stadium:

    "The Smiths said they would get back together if the Queen abdicated; well, The Housemartins will get back together when The Smiths reform."


    UPDATE 7:00 AM PT: Name corrected by Oso Blanco - Norman Cook, not Norman Smith.

      Johnny said The Smiths would reform if Cameron / coalition resigned, not the Queen.

      Would love to see a Housemartins reunion...... saw them at Manchester's International 2 in 1986. Great band.

      Not sure where you are from Anonymous (Saudi Arabia perhaps?), but round here people get released from prison after serving their time... Hugh was sent down for attacking a business partner (or ex-business partner) with an axe in 1993 http://www.uglynorth.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/hugh.htm That's nearly 20 years ago - he's been out for 16 years
