Paul Heaton - former Beautiful South and Housemartins frontman.
Fri 08-10-2010 20:30
The former Beautiful South and Housemartins frontman, singer-songwriter Paul Heaton following headline dates at Glastonbury and the V Festival will play at the Wexford Arts Centre promoting his eagerly anticipated second solo album Acid Country. A spokesman said: “The new album sees him continue to write classic melodies with a country edge, whilst also maintaining his sparkling pop sensibilities.”
As ever, his intricate and sometimes acerbic lyrics stand out with songs about old and new experiences, stories of travels and home, optimism and pessimism. Paul will preview some of the songs from ‘Acid Country’ – as well as tracks from his previous solo outing and a couple of classic offerings from his Housemartin days.
