Nine-piece live band of former The Beautiful South members plays their classic pop songs at The Drill.
The South play The Drill on Sunday 7 March, with doors opening at 19:00. They're a nine-piece live band built around the songs of The Beautiful South, and they've spent the last 16 years touring UK theatres and festivals since the original group split in 2007.
The set draws from a back catalogue that spans an 18-year career dating back to 1989. You'll hear the number one single 'A Little Time' alongside 'Perfect 10', 'Rotterdam', 'Song For Whoever', 'Old Red Eyes Is Back', 'Good as Gold' and 'Don't Marry Her', plus a handful of South originals. They describe it as keeping alive the full sound and arrangements of the songs that made them famous.
There are former members of the original group in the line-up: singer Alison Wheeler and lifelong sax player Gaz Birtles, who took over vocal duties when original singer Dave Hemingway left at the end of 2016, with Gareth John adding a third voice. The rest of the nine-piece includes Phil Barton on guitars, Steve Nutter on bass, Dave Anderson on drums, Karl Brown on percussion, Su Robinson on sax and Andy Price on keyboards.
