3rd time I've seen them up the Devils Arse, always a great show.
Great place to see the band and you can get a nice walk in too.

Half Man Half Biscuit, The Devil's Arse at Peak Cavern, Castleton - 25th July 2025
Excellent night.
Bob Wilson – Anchorman Lord I’ve tried the best I can I’ve asked everybody in Kazakhstan But I still don’t understand Bob Wilson – anchorman I’ve been to Kent, Gwent and Senegal I’ve even been to look for Jim Rosenthal Found him on his knees at the Wailing Wall Crying: “Bob Wilson – anchorman” Well I marvel at the things we find beneath the ground And that man can go faster than the speed of sound But I still can’t get my head around Bob Wilson – anchorman I’m cold and I’m hungry and I’m in Dundalk I’ve got no bus fare, I’ve gotta walk It’s raining soup and I’ve got a fork Where be my camper van? Well I’d like to meet Stephenson the engineer And I’d like to meet Faraday and buy him a beer And I’d love to meet the bloke who had the bright idea of Bob Wilson – anchorman

Half Man Half Biscuit, HMV Empire, Coventry - 12th April 2024
Half Man Half Biscuit is an iconic British alternative rock band known for their sharp wit, dark humour, and unique blend of indie rock and post-punk. Formed in 1982 in Birkenhead, the band, fronted by the sardonic Nigel Blackwell, became a cult favourite thanks to their satirical lyrics and irreverent commentary on modern life. Their music often weaves together absurd narratives, cultural references, and pointed critiques of society, all delivered with a tongue-in-cheek, no-holds-barred attitude.
The band's breakthrough came with their debut album, Back In The DHSS (1985), which garnered a dedicated following, and they continued to build on their success with albums such as The Trumpton Riots (1986) and This Leaden Pall (1997). While not always commercially mainstream, Half Man Half Biscuit's work is beloved for its authenticity and anarchic spirit. Over the years, the band has maintained a fiercely loyal fanbase, known for their infectious energy and loyal support. Known for their energetic live shows and ever-relevant, often comically critical lyrics, Half Man Half Biscuit remain a unique and much-loved staple of British alternative music.
