Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott, whose eagerly awaited new album ‘Crooked Calypso’ is released on 21st July, have announced a tour of Ireland and the UK in the autumn. Paul and Jacqui last played live at their ‘Beauty In The East’ show at Hull’s 23,000 capacity KCOM Craven Park Stadium on 3rd June.
Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott will release their third album ‘Crooked Calypso’ on Virgin EMI on 21st July. ‘Crooked Calypso’ boasts all the hallmarks of Heaton’s peerless songwriting: songs buoyant with melody, and redolent with biting wit, but also real emotion. Songs from their new album are to be played when Paul & Jacqui hit the road and they will also delve deep into Paul’s phenomenal 30 year back catalogue as a songwriter and will also perform classic songs by The Beautiful South and the Housemartins.
