After he had been having a period of working as a solo artist following the demise of the Beautiful South, Paul Heaton decided to invite Jacqui Abbott, one of The Beautiful South's female vocalists, to record some songs together after she had taken an extended break from the music business to raise her son. The collaboration has worked well and they have now released several albums, as well as going out on tour together playing live covering a mixture of new material, with added songs from both The Beautiful South and The Housemartins' back catalogue. In 2020, the duo's fourth album, Manchester Calling, reached No.1 in the UK album chart.

Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott release their third album <i>Crooked Calypso</i>. <i>Crooked Calypso</i> boasts all the hallmarks of Heaton’s peerless songwriting: songs buoyant with melody, and redolent with biting wit, but also real emotion. Produced by long time collaborator John Williams who produced both Housemartins albums and the previous two Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott albums. 

2CD - CD / DVD Digi pack with a 16 track CD and DVD Live At The Scarborough Open Air Theatre 5th August 2016.

LP - Heavyweight black vinyl in a Gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeve and download card.
