Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott, together for the first time since the demise of the Beautiful South, have announced a May UK tour.
The duo are touring in support of ‘What Have We Become’, which is set for release on May 12. The album is available to pre-order now from their website, including a limited number of signed copies on CD and vinyl.
Speaking about the joint venture, Paul said:
“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. Jacqui is one of the best singers I’ve worked with and is also part of my past. It was only a matter of time before I asked her.
“I always wrote songs with Jacqui in mind. Even before I met her I pictured a voice that could carry the songs into people’s hearts in a particular way. When I first heard her sing I almost laughed because it was SO right for the songs.”
Abbott added:
“It’s just great to be singing again after such a long time, especially with Paul. We had such a good run together previously and it’s just a real pleasure to be working with him again and singing these fantastic songs.”
The tour begins at Newcastle Tyne Theatre on May 20, culminating in a show at Hull City Hall on May 31. The pair will perform songs from the new album, alongside tracks from the Beautiful South and the Housemartins.
