Steve Hill's Odyssey searching for Birkenhead's finest, Half Man Half Biscuit.Inside The Cult Of Half Man Half Biscuit
Half Man Half Biscuit occupy a unique place in British culture. Existing largely outside the music business, this idiosyncratic Birkenhead band has flown under the radar for over four decades, skewering societal mores through a surrealist lens with laugh-out-loud lyrics and acutely observed satire.
