Happy hour again: musician celebrates birthday with £1,000 behind bar in 60 pubs

The venues were selected by musician Paul Heaton in honour of his 60th birthday, and by way of celebration he put £1,000 behind the bar at each one.

The former Housemartins and Beautiful South frontman used his Facebook page to invite fans to celebrate with him, explaining that his original tour plan, involving cycling between venues around the UK, had to be shelved after the pandemic caused delays to the recording of his new album.

"The next best way to celebrate this coming of age is to handpick 60 pubs across the UK and Ireland and put a given amount of money behind the bar of each one,” he said.

“The hope is to bring people together on the day, whilst recognising that many folk who bought my records or showed me support over the years could do with a wee party."
