		Dave Rotheray, guitarist with the beautiful south has teamed up with singer Sam Brown and some of musical mates from the city, to form Homespun.
		Dave says English groups such as Fairport convention and the incredible string band were on his mind as he wrote the songs.
		Dave is particularly pleased with the change the feminine touch has wrought to ‘Anniversary rag’, where Sam exhorts her feller to “shrug off your old man blues, on you they don’t seem right”.

		Dave's big break came when he was asked to replace Hugh Whitaker as the Housemartin's drummer in the mid 80s.
		Upon the later formation of the Beautiful South, Dave fatefully became lead singer, though his self admitted lack of stage presence (he is after all primarily a drummer!) has led to him falling back behind Paul Heaton.
		Dave's voice is both powerful and unique and is showcased in all its glory on his forthcoming solo album 'Hello Cruel World'.

	The Bob Paterson Agency - Homespun
		The Homespun project initially started as an outlet for Dave’s song writing whilst The Beautiful South were working on a ‘covers’ project, but as he wrote more, and more tracks it became obvious that the project would take on a more serious role and an album release was imminent.
		Dave then enlisted the help of his musician friends, all boasting impressive credentials; Tony Robinson took on keyboards, he had previously worked with the Super Furry Animals, Gary Hammond then came onboard as the percussionist, he had previously worked with the Nina Simone band.
		Dave made a conscious decision to step away from the familiar sound of The Beautiful South, by loosing the drums and electric guitars and aiming for a folk-based framework (heavily influenced by the Grateful Dead’s classic album ‘American Beauty’)

	Beautiful South: Telegraph Dumb Single
		Songwriting partner and guitarist Dave Rotheray is at the mixing desk with their engineer, who is comfortably the best-dressed man in the room.
		Rotheray and Heaton have been writing together for almost 10 years - the band's first single, Song for Whoever ("I love you from the bottom of my pencil case"), went to number two in the charts in June 1989.
		The camaraderie between the two, and within the whole Beautiful South set-up, is palpable, and is as much a key to their longevity as their way with a tune.

		Rotheray: At the time we were listening to Nanci Griffith and Randy Travis's third album a lot.
		Rotheray: Yes, but in fairness, it's a plucky little single and it did, unfortunately, come out while A Little Time was still in the chart and selling quite well.
		Rotheray: I've come round to Paul's way of thinking, though I think it's clear from the song that it's not the model but the industry that's being attacked, What changed my mind was blokes coming up to me and saying they thought it was funny and shouting the chorus.

	IN THE PUB WITH THE BEAUTIFUL SOUTH
		Paul Heaton and Dave Rotheray - the songwriting partners who are responsible for The Beautiful South’s tunes - seem to have been rather smitten by the Mutant Ninja Turtle bug.
		Paul and Dave Rotheray might be the group’s writers, but its actually Paul who is, on the quiet, the group’s unofficial leader, partly because of his track record with the once famous Housemartins, and partly because he’s got a bit of an "idea" of how he wants The Beautiful South to be.
		Dave Rotheray gives his sugar turtle one final lick and breaks it off his stick, sending it plummeting to a rather filthy floor.

		Biography: Dave grew up on the docks of Hull, and witnessed the effect the collapse of the fishing industry had on the inhabitants of the city.
		Dave was the only member of The Housemartins to go on with Paul to form The Beautiful South.
		Instead of continuing to drum, Dave was initially recruited as lead singer, but his lack of stage presence meant Paul soon came to be the frontman, with Dave relegated to backing vocals most of the time.

	Interview (FEBRUARY 2005) - ROTHERAY, DAVE (HOMESPUN) - - - - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		As a rule, were you to mention DAVE ROTHERAY, you'd normally think of the musical half of one of the most successful British songwriting partnerships since Lennon & McCartney: for by day the affable and totally likeable Yorkshireman writes the melodies behind Paul Heaton's acerbic lyrical swipes in The Beautiful South.
		However, what few people realise is that on the quiet, Dave is also a very accomplished lyricist, who's been (literally) writing songs in his bedroom over the past few years and in recent times has linked up with under-rated chanteuse and famous daughter of Joe, Sam Brown to form HOMESPUN.
		Dave, tell us a little more about the roots of Homespun.

		Recorded last year while The Beautiful South took a sabbatical, Homespun is a low-key collaboration between the band's Dave Rotheray and Sam Brown, a great vocalistwho has long been in need of better material and who's currently part of Jools Holland's touring outfit.
		Dave Rotheray, writer and guitarist for The Beautiful South, on hiatus to pursue more personal material, decided Sam was just the voice for him.
		It's ther perfect marriage - Rotheray's quirky lyrics (he's responsible for such twisted hits as 'Rotterdam' and 'Perfect Ten' after all) - courting the sweeter than cola cubes voice of Brown.

		THE striking collaboration of Sam Brown and Dave Rotheray in the band Homespun ensured that the Carnegie enjoyed an evening shot through with wry humour and northern sentiment last Friday.
		The mixture of Dave Rotheray, Beautiful South guitarist and co-writer, and Sam Brown, one of the UK’s most talented female vocalists, was bound to produce at least an interesting sound but Homespun are a group that are truly enjoyable to witness.
		Dave Rotheray said that Homespun ‘are a brand new band but our parts are second-hand’ and that sounds just about right to me.

		Homespun are a musical project it's almost entirely impossible to dislike - the coming together of singer Sam Brown and guitarist Dave Rotheray, writing and performing songs so heart-warmingly simple it gives you a warm glow just thinking about.
		Stripped back to reveal only the most important of elements, Homespun present their songs with a loving touch - these are songs with an unmistakable humanity and honesty, the fact that they rarely scrape the two minute mark speaking volumes.
		Dave made a conscious decision to step away from the familiar sound of The Beautiful South, by losing the drums and electric guitars and aiming for a folk-based framework (heavily influenced by the Grateful Dead's classic album American Beauty).

	Beautiful South: Article
		Formed from the remnants of the breakup by the Housemartins, another cynical band, albeit with a more political bent, singer/songwriter Heaton, along with Housemartin drummer Dave Hemingway started the Beautiful South in 1989 in their hometown of Hull, a gray, working- class city in the north of England.
		With guitarist/songwriter Rotheray, bassist Sean Welch, drummer David Stead, and vocalist Brianna Corrigan, the South presented a more expansive musical playing field than what was offered in the Housemartins.
		Written about England's Page 3 girls, women who appear topless on the third page of some London tabloids, Heaton and Rotheray's intention was to attack the industry that supports it, not the women themselves, but mixed messages in the song reflected otherwise.

	Homespun Featuring Dave Rotheray and Sam Brown: Press Release
		This project was a purely recreational venture, recorded at home with a few close musical friends, and done without any intention of commercial release.
		It became clear that these songs required a singer who could do them justice, and the notion began to develop that this project, embarked upon purely for its own sake, could turn into an album.
		Best known for her classic single 'Stop', and possessed of a voice capable of breaking your heart and super-gluing it back together all at the same time, Sam was the perfect choice.

	Homespun Effortless Cool Single Review - SoundsXP
		For P.D. Heaton and his Housemartins drummer Dave Hemingway the transition from Marxist pop to darkly caustic, tongue-in-cheek MOR proved to be a rewarding one; The Beautiful South, bagged handfuls of hit singles and number one albums and their 1995 singles collection 'Carry On Up The Charts' became the third fastest-selling album of its time.
		Nonetheless, here it is. Homespun is a collaboration between Rotheray, a wide variety of experienced session musicians and eighties starlet Sam Brown, who gives a voice to Rotheray's lyrics.
		It's easily as good as anything Rotheray has produced at his very best and suggests that both he and the Beautiful South could still one day suprise us again with something truly special.

	CLUAS Indie Gig Reviews: Beautiful South live in Dublin, Ireland
		It’s hard to believe that the two men onstage are the most successful British songwriting duo since Lennon and McCartney, but once you’ve spent two hours listening to their compositions, you can understand why.
		The Beautiful South are back in town with their ‘Painting it Red’ Tour and lead singer Paul Heaton and Dave Rotheray are onstage doing an acoustic version of ‘Prettiest Eyes’ from their Greatest Hits album.
		Heaton is given the chance to take a short breather while fellow vocalist Dave Hemingway takes centre stage on ‘The Mediterranean’, a slow tempo number that could be a future single.

		Rave had effectively taken over the airwaves, and with critics salivating over all things baggy, Paul Heaton and Dave Rotheray's songs were suddenly finding trouble being heard.
		But it takes a melodic nous like Dave Rotheray's to usher a worldview like Heaton's into so many homes.
		Heaton and Rotheray are as near as you'll find to a songwriting equivalent.

		After a few false starts with various singers, Dave's collaborator Tony Robinson (piano) proposed calling premiere British songstress Sam Brown to tackle the tunes.
		Dave called her and a week later Sam took time out from her schedule with Jools Holland's band, drove up to Hull, and one afternoon and a few Bloody Marys later Homespun was born.
		But, with this new, intimate songwriting angle, this group of musicians and above all with Sam Brown, Rotheray has found his writer's voice.

		With polished harmonies and lush arrangements heavy with keyboards and strings that subdue the guitar of songwriter Dave Rotheray, the slick surface of the Beautiful South has long been the epitome of Adult Album Alternative.
		The frontman and lyricist wields the most poisonous pen ever to be dipped in the well of perfect pop.
		And so it's been since 1989's debut disc opened with "Song for Whoever." Heaton runs through a litany of women's names as fellow singer Dave Hemingway thanks all parties for their romantic woes — neat translation into publishing royalties.
