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.

Manchester Calling boasts all the hallmarks of Heaton’s beautifully bittersweet songwriting – effortlessly catchy melodies allied with an everyman’s biting exasperation at the modern world alongside some truly heartfelt love songs.

Produced by long time collaborator John Williams who produced both Housemartins albums and the previous three Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott albums - What Have We Become (’14), Wisdom, Laughter and Lines (’15), and Crooked Calypso (’17) - the record was recorded at Blueprint Studios in Salford, Manchester. As is Paul Heaton’s habit the lyrics were written in various locations in North Holland and Belgium while the music was composed in a hotel in Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria and in Limburg An Der Lahn in Germany.
