Tribute band Very Beautiful South plays The Beautiful South's classic hits at MK11 Live Music Venue.
Very Beautiful South are playing MK11 Live Music Venue on Saturday 14 November, a tribute night dedicated to the songs of The Beautiful South. If you've spent any time with the original band's records, you'll know the sort of thing they're working from: those melodic, slightly wry pop songs that managed to be catchy and a bit biting at the same time.
It's a straightforward premise. The night is billed as a celebration of The Beautiful South's songbook, and that's exactly what it is — a set built around the hits that made them one of the UK's most beloved hit-making bands. Rather than a new record or a specific era, the focus is on the songs themselves, the ones that stayed in the charts and stuck in people's heads.
As for the band, they describe themselves as one of the UK's most beloved hit-making bands, and the whole evening is framed as a celebration of that songbook. It's a tribute act, so the set is a look back at the material rather than a new direction, with the hits taking centre stage.
