Paul Heaton/Jacqui Abbott

After the break up of The Beautiful South, lead singer Paul Heaton spent years as a solo artist making sharp country-pop. Now he’s reunited with the South’s honey-voiced female vocalist Abbott for the first time since the group split up, so old classics such as ‘Perfect 10’ and ‘Rotterdam (Or Anywhere)’ are on the cards alongside material from the pair’s collaborative album ‘What Have We Become’.
