Homespun
In 2001, Heaton released the album, Fat Chance. However, as the bulk of tracks on Fat Chance were written by Heaton alone, or with other collaborators rather than Rotheray, it was decided that Rotheray too would have a side project whilst The Beautiful South were on a recording hiatus.
Homespun originally featured Rotheray and Sam Brown. The band released three albums. More recently Brown was replaced by Helen 'Aitch' McRobbie as lead vocalist, before Homespun split up in 2008. Rotheray concentrated on a solo project involving different singers from the contemporary scene.
