Paul Heaton spoke to NME about giving away free pints for his birthday and why he thinks the Royal Family should be privatised.The Housemartins and Beautiful South legend made headlines earlier this month when he generously bought a round for patrons at 60 pubs around the UK to mark his 60th birthday.“It was brilliant. I expected a few people to say, ‘Oh cheers!’ – but I got video after video of people drinking, stories about people meeting new friends and talking to people all day, and it was good for the pubs,” Heaton told NME. “At the time I thought, ‘This is a bit of a silly idea’, but as it got nearer the day I knew I really wanted to do something like that.
I was shocked by how much coverage it got, but also by how much people loved it. I’m just expecting for other artists to start doing it now!”Asked if he was expecting to get all of those rounds to be bought back for him in return, he replied: “That’s the danger, isn’t it? ‘You once bought me a pint, so here’s yours’. Suddenly I’m this bloated, sad little man in the corner of the pub.
It was a gift. I’ve had a couple of offers, and that’s nice.”Last year, Heaton and Jacqui Abbott played a number of free gigs for NHS staff as a thank you for their efforts throughout the pandemic. “I did it for the nurses and we did one for care workers and they were mad,” Heaton recalls.
