question: Hvem er forsanger i the beautiful south?
answers.text: Paul Heaton
context: Paul Heaton og Dave Hemingway var oprindeligt blevet kendt som henholdsvis forsanger og "syngende trommeslager" i det succesfulde Hull jangle popband The Housemartins, som havde opnået syv britiske Top 40-singler og to Top 10-album mellem 1986 og 1988. (Heaton var med i Housemartins i hele deres levetid; Hemingway kom med i tide til deres andet og sidste album). Bandet var kendt for at blande åbenlys socialistisk politik og en form for kristendom, idet de i deres sange havde lokket det britiske monarki, byggeindustrien og den sydafrikanske apartheid i deres sange samt inddraget gospelelementer i deres musik. The Housemartins hævdede ofte, at de havde sat en fast levetid for sig selv, og medlemmerne bragte bandet behørigt til ophør i 1988 på toppen af dets succes. Heaton og Hemingway begyndte straks at arbejde på at oprette et nyt band og kaldte det "The Beautiful South" som en sarkastisk kommentar til deres stærke nordlige rødder.

context_en: Paul Heaton and Dave Hemingway had initially come to attention as (respectively) the lead singer and "singing drummer" of the successful Hull jangle pop band The Housemartins, who had scored seven UK Top 40 singles and two Top 10 albums between 1986 and 1988. (Heaton was with the Housemartins for their entire existence; Hemingway joined in time for their second and final album.) The band was known for blending overt socialist politics and a form of Christianity, having baited the British monarchy, the building industry and South African apartheid in their songs as well as including gospel elements in their music. The Housemartins often claimed to have set a fixed lifespan for themselves, and the members duly brought the band to an end in 1988 at the height of its success. Heaton and Hemingway immediately began work on setting up a new band, naming it "The Beautiful South" as a sarcastic comment on their staunch Northern roots.
