McIntyre, Treadmore and Davitt


McIntyre, Treadmore and Davitt was released in 1991 by British rock band Half Man Half Biscuit as their third original album. It was the first album released after the band had reformed in 1990.
The title and album sleeve picture are both taken from a Ripping Yarns episode entitled "Golden Gordon".

Critical reception

  • Stewart Mason, AllMusic: "ven though the songs are both slower and longer, that cosmetic change only gave singer/songwriter Nigel Blackwell a broader canvas for his increasingly complex, multi-layered lyrics."
  • Danny Scott, Select: "Once wicked wits of the North, HMHB have become rock's sad, old game-show hosts – same suit, same kitsch catchphrase. Only 'Prag Vec At The Melt Vet ' and Christian Rock Concert' show the bristling sarcasm of yore."
