HAVING taken a two-year sabbatical, The Beautiful South have now reformed as New Beautiful South and are to play a very special and intimate show at Buxton Opera House on Friday February 12 as part of the opening night for the Four Four Time Festival.
Formed 20 years ago, The Beautiful South sold over 15 million albums worldwide and packed out stadiums and arenas throughout that period.
They had a string of hit singles such as Old Red Eyes Is Back, Rotterdam, Don't Marry Her, Perfect 10 and the No 1 single A Little Time. Their greatest hits album, Carry On Up The Charts, was one of the fastest-selling albums in UK history, entering at No 1 and staying there for weeks, becoming one of the country's most popular albums ever.
Carrying on where they left off, Dave Hemingway & Alison Wheeler (vocals), Dave Stead (drums), Damon Butcher (keys), Tony Robinson and Gaz Birtles(brass) are now joined by Phil Barton (guitar), Karl Brown (percussion) and Steve Nutter (bass), resurrecting the songs and the sounds of this Great British pop institution by dipping into the Beautiful South songbook as well as writing new material.
Tickets are now on sale.
