I recall this happened a few years back when he announced that he was in future to be known simply as Hucknall. It didn't succeed then, so why should it now?
Amply Fed have been Hucknall plus anonymous backing musicians since the 2nd album, so what is the point?

but Simply Red made some good records and he set up the Blood and Fire label, so he can't be all bad.

That's a lot of women.
May I just make it clear that I wasn't one of them?

... millionaire Mick Hucknall then?

The story goes that he had to lose the dreadlocks when Martine McCutcheon threw up on them. If so, the nation owes her a debt. An OBE at least.

I've met him several times and, despite my preconceptions, couldn't help but like him more each time. Especially when he mocked his press personna, and came across as a regular guy, and a great music fan, who was very appreciative of his lot.
Who wouldn't do what he has done, given the opportunity....and the voice.

... lacking only charm, talent and millions, I can only say, you have a point.

a local shop assistant bore a startling resemblance to Mick Hucknall. I understand he became well known for providing 'extra services'....

he also had a brief, mercurial career as the midfield general of Fulchester United, alongside Shakin'Stevens, Brown Fox and a certain piscine goalkeeper.

...catching up with an old friend, the Stylistics' song "You Make Me Feel Brand New" came on the jukebox. Primarily associating the song with childhood adverts for Bio-Tex, I started to snigger. Then something dawned on me.

"Is this a remix? The backing vocals are missing. It sounds like something from Sesame Street."
"No," my friend replied, "it's Mick Hucknall's cover version."

And Jesus wept.

Unashamed bigotry corner.

Which continents would they be Mick?

I recall a young Kershaw on the Earl Grey Thistle Pest introducing a film clip as Simply Dull. In fairness he got better with age and did not venture into the kind of outfits favoured by Rod Stewart in his disco daze. Heaven's above.

I have fuliminated long and hard in these columns about the red haired play boy of the western world. When ever he opens his cake hole he jumps straight in to the hole. If ever a person embodies "full of sh1t" then this lad is it.I feel sorry for those women.

that Mick Hucknall offered a full and frank apology to us all for making us think about him having sex with 1000 women.

Claimed that his brother had slept with 5000 different women. When faced with the mathematic unlikeliness of that claim, his rejoinder was "ahh...but you don't know my brother".

..becomes clearer when you realise that he renames his own penis with a different womans name every night..
"Come 'ere Deidre..it's twenty past nine, and you know what that means"

would do for me!

heard it when i were a lad, loved it ever since. Something Got Me Started's a tune and all.
