Paul Heaton, Jacqui Abbott, Cherry Ghost

Legendary The Housemartins and The Beautiful South frontman Paul Heaton is heading out on a UK tour in May 2014 with fellow Beautiful South singer, Jacqui Abbott.

‘What Have We Become’ is the new album from Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott, and marks their return together on record for the first time since the multi-million selling days of The Beautiful South, who in the 1990s and early 2000s released a string of critically-acclaimed records.

‘What Have We Become’ is a wonderful contemporary record, full of lyrical wit and humour, whilst retaining a strong social conscience that touches on the changing social landscape of Britain (‘One Man’s England’, ‘When I Get Back To Blighty’), stereotypes in music (‘I Am Not A Muse’), whilst ‘The Snowman’ and ‘Some Dancing To Do’ deal with issues of loss.
