It’s beautiful to be back together

The others may have gone on to form The South — but for Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott, it seems that two is the magic number.

Their new album What Have We Become retains that same social commentary on modern day Britain — but perhaps most important is that same chemistry behind the original hits.

Paul commented: “Working with Jacqui again was like going into your garage and discovering a beautiful, covered up Rolls Royce that hadn’t been started in years.”

Wednesday’s (May 21) gig will include the new songs, not to mention tracks from The Beautiful South and The Housemartins — for info, visit www.gigsandtours.com.
