Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott have announced a Forest Live date for 2015. They are the first act confirmed to appear in Dalby Forest, North Yorkshire, as part of the annual summer music series organised by the Forestry Commission, where bands perform in unique woodland locations across England.
Paul and Jacqui’s 2014 album, ‘What Have We Become’, which reached number three in the UK charts, poignantly marked the 20th anniversary of their first album together, The Beautiful South’s ‘Miaow’. Equally significant, it reunited Paul with John Williams, the producer of his first album, The Housemartins’ ‘London 0 Hull 4’, and his first number one, 1986’s ‘Caravan Of Love’.
The magic Heaton/Abbott vocal chemistry forever imbedded in such Beautiful South classics as ‘Rotterdam’, ‘Don’t Marry Her’ and ‘Perfect 10’ is recaptured on the critically acclaimed album, including singles ‘D.I.Y’, ‘Moulding Of A Fool’ and ‘When It Was Ours’, and in live performances with a succession of sold out indoor shows. The Dalby Forest concert will see them play material from their new album and songs from The Beautiful South and the Housemartins.
