THE HOUSEMARTINS-Happy Hour


In 1986, having recorded two John Peel sessions, the The_Housemartins broke through with the single "Happy Hour", which reached #3 in the UK Singles Chart. The single's success was helped by a claymation animated pop promo of a type that was in vogue at the time, featuring a cameo by television comedian Phill Jupitus, who toured with the band under his stage name of 'Porky the Poet'.
