Having played a massive show recently in their native Hull – where they’re up from fourth to third best band – Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott embark on an Irish tour that takes them to the Opera House, Cork (October 20); Limelight, Belfast (21); Millennium Forum, Derry (22); Olympia, Dublin (24); Radisson, Galway (26); Big Top, Limerick (27) and Spigeltent, Wexford (28).
Tickets go on sale on Friday July 7, with Dublin ones priced €37.50.
Along with classics from their glorious Housemartins and Beautiful South pasts, there’ll be lots of new tunes from excellent new record, Crooked Calypso.
