Did anybody see what he did for the staff at Q magazine. In 2017 he also offered the royalties from his music to the government to spend on schools and the NHS, they turned it down. What a lovely bloke

He’s a top bloke, he played in my local pub when he was touring solo, I think he cycled venue to venue.

There’s a video on you tube where he’s doing an impromptu version of Happy Hour in his hotel room, you should check it out OP

It was a great offer but I guess they didn't want to be seen to be nationalising something.

I'm sure that there has to be away of him maybe putting the profits into a charity business and then donate it from there ?

I'd want it going straight to the good causes not via the treasury anyway, you'd pay a million in and get £4 out

I read about Q this morning.

I wonder why they have told the media now. He may prefer to keep it secret.

That's probably why they turned him down, he may have had some kind of ring fence caveat.

Hull

Top guy . . . And he loves Hull

He does lots for charities & supporting others but doesn't make a song & a dance about it ( see what I did there!!) - never wants the focus on him

There and to the left a bit


"Top guy . . . And he loves Hull

He certainly is and couldn't agree more about those that quietly go about their charitable work without needing to trumpet it at every opportunity - makes you wonder sometimes which is more important, the charitable act or the publicity and self-promotion.

Another thing he announced at the very start of lockdown was a free gig for NHS workers once it was safe to do so.

A much underrated songwriter too - right from The Housemartins, through Beautiful South and onto his solo work

There are multiple threads deserving this response.....but not this one.

Good for him..literally putting his money where his mouth is. I was reading today about a Asda delivery driver who has received a birthday list honours award for using his own car and time to drive isolated people around and deliver shopping during these difficult times. Whether youre Bill Gates, a well known singer or an 'ordinary' person....we can all do more for others

I meant there was no need for the ‘and’ comment,that’s where the eye roll came into it I gather. Can’t fault Paul heaton for doing that
