Amazon.co.uk: Last Orders at the Liars Bar: the Official Story of the Beautiful South: Books: Mike Pattenden (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | Pattenden was commissioned to "establish a different perspective of the Band"--to tell us more than what we already knew, that they came from Hull, they were partial to a drink or two, and they wrote funny, ironic pop songs (songwriters Dave Rotheray and Paul Heaton were particularly irked by that "ironic" label). |
 | | Mike Pattenden, of "The Times", "Vox" and "Arena", has been granted access behind the scenes to the band themselves and their associates, both past and present, in order to tell the story of the last decade. |
 | | Mike Pattenden, as the author and a supposed long term freind of Heaton, gives him an easy ride on subjects like his well-known and rather eccentric political philosophy. |
