  • Dave Hemingway, was a lead vocalist for the Hull based band The Beautiful South until they disbanded in 2007. Previously, he had been a member of The Housemartins. Hemingway was the son of a lorry driver and local comedian on the club circuit, Harry Hemingway and Flo Hemingway who worked in a bar called The Kingfisher. In Hull's Henry Cooper School, Hemingway was in the same class as The Housemartins' future drummer, Hugh Whitaker. The two shared an interest in drumming, and one day, when the class were asked who would like to learn drums, they put their hands up first. Hemingway followed Whitaker into bands, first the Newpolitans with Dave Rotheray on bass, and then the Velvetones. His break came when he got a call from Rotheray telling him Whitaker had left The Housemartins. Rotheray recommended him to Housemartins guitarist Stan Cullimore, who phoned him. He was working as a purchase ledger clerk at the time. Hemingway quit his job on 6 March 1987, and soon found himself in the recording studio, recording the band's second album, The People Who Grinned Themselves to Death. After the Housemartins disbanded, he and Housemartins founder Paul Heaton put together the Beautiful South from its ashes, featuring roadie and bassist Sean Welch.
