A little about The South ex The Beautiful South...
The Beautiful South had a string of hit singles such as ‘Old Red Eyes Is Back’, ‘Rotterdam’, ‘Don't Marry Her’, ‘Perfect 10’ and a number one single with ‘A Little Time’.
Their greatest hits album, ‘Carry On Up The Charts’, was one of the fastest-selling albums in UK history, entering at number one and staying there for weeks, becoming one of the country's most popular albums ever.
Having split in 2007 due to "musical similarities" original Beautiful South members Dave Hemingway & Alison Wheeler (Vocals), Damon Butcher (keys), Tony Robinson and Gaz Birtles (brass) have now reformed as The South with the addition of Phil Barton (guitar) and Steve Nutter (Bass).
The South resurrects the songs and the sounds of this Great British Pop institution by dipping into the Beautiful South songbook as well as writing new material. They say its all about the songs.
