Since the demise of The Beautiful South in 2007, this exciting live band have spent 14 years touring bringing the sound and arrangements of treasured songs such as A Little Time, Perfect 10, Rotterdam, Song For Whoever, Old Red Eyes Is Back, Good As Gold to audiences throughout the UK. Now they are bringing that music to Well’s latest nightspot Studio 24, later today (9th May).

The South are an impressive 9 piece band who feature former members of The Beautiful South including singer Alison Wheeler and lifelong sax player Gaz Birtles. Since Dave Hemingway, the original singer, left the group at the end of 2016, Gaz has moved across to front the band with Alison and taken on vocal duties. Now, in keeping with the 2 male singers of The Beautiful South, trumpet player Gareth John takes over some vocal duties on a few songs whilst Gaz goes back to his old job of being a Sax player!

But, of course there are others in the band! The full line-up is. Alison Wheeler (Vocals), Gaz Birtles (Vocals/sax), Gareth John (Trumpet)/vocals), Phil Barton (Guitars), Steve Nutter (Bass), Dave Anderson (Drums), Karl Brown (Percussion) , Su Robinson (Sax) and Andy Price (Keyboards). For tickets and further information on the event, please do to https://thesouth.co.uk/about/  and  http://wegottickets.com/event/644348/
