A Resonant Revival

The South, a stellar 9-piece ensemble, breathe new life into the beloved hits of The Beautiful South, captivating audiences with their renditions of cherished classics. Led by singer Alison Wheeler and lifelong saxophonist Gaz Birtles, the band embarked on this musical journey after the departure of original singer Dave Hemingway in 2016.

For over 15 years since the dissolution of The Beautiful South in 2007, The South has toured the UK, delivering the full sound and arrangements of the cherished songs that defined an era. From chart-toppers like “A Little Time” and “Perfect 10” to soul-stirring tracks such as “Rotterdam” and “Song For Whoever,” the setlist promises to span the entirety of The Beautiful South’s illustrious 18-year career.

The South Lineup

Joining Alison Wheeler and Gaz Birtles on stage are Phil Barton (Guitars), Steve Nutter (Bass), Dave Anderson (Drums), Karl Brown (Percussion), Gareth John (Trumpet/Vocals), Su Robinson (Sax), and Andy Price (Keyboards). Together, they ensure a performance that honors the legacy of The Beautiful South while infusing their own energy and style into the mix.
