Friday Night Fever

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.

Without embarking on anything that could realistically be described as a tour, they have nevertheless garnered an army of adoring followers. Biscuit gigs are supremely joyous occasions, with fans often travelling huge distances to far-flung locations.

United by their love of the band, many disparate devotees never miss a show. Following the enforced pandemic hiatus, author Steve Hill made the life changing decision to join these Ultras and go full-time.

Round Britain in a Dukla Prague Away Kit – from Somerset to Scotland and all points in between – Friday Night Fever is a raucous road trip. But beyond the jocularity and Joy Division Oven Gloves, there is a poignant exploration of the lives touched by this most beloved national treasure.
