The South set to appear at Arts Centre in Haverhill next month

The South are stopping off at Haverhill on part of their tour of the UK.

The band have been out on the road again since February appearing in Milton Keynes, Bury St Edmunds, Harpenden, Buxton, Oswaldthistle, Frome, Glasgow and Kendall and are due to appear at the Suffolk town’s Arts Centre, on Saturday, September 23.

The South are a nine-piece outfit who feature former members of The Beautiful South including singer Alison Wheeler and lifelong sax player Gaz Birtles.

Since Dave Hemingway, the original singer, left the group at the end of 2016, Gaz has moved across to front the band with Alison and taken on vocal duties.

Since the demise of The Beautiful South in 2007, the band has spent 14 years touring the theatres and festivals of the UK up and down the country, bringing back the full sound and arrangements of treasured songs including  “A Little Time” (the number one single), “|Perfect 10”, “Rotterdam”, “Song For Whoever”, “Old Red Eyes Is Back”, “Good as Gold”, “Don’t Marry Her”, plus many more singles and album tracks as well as a few choice South originals.

These songs span an impressive 18 year career starting way back in 1989!

The South are: Alison Wheeler (vocals), Gaz Birtles (vocals), Phil Barton (guitars), Steve Nutter (bass), Dave Anderson (drums), Karl Brown (percussion), Gareth John (trumpet), Su Robinson (sax) and Andy Price (keyboards).
