Heaton announces new album The Mighty Several alongside UK dates for Winter 2024

Paul Heaton is one of the UK's most successful songwriters with well over 15 million album sales under his belt. He first came to public attention in the early '80s as the frontman of Hull-based indie-pop band The Housemartins, who are best known for their third single 'Happy Hour' and their No.1 acapella cover of The Isley Brothers' 'Caravan Of Love'.

In 1988 Heaton formed The Beautiful South, which released 10 hugely successful albums – from 1989's Welcome To The Beautiful South to 2006's Superbi. Jacqui Abbott was lead vocalist for some time in The Beautiful South and she sang many of their signature hits including 'Rotterdam', 'Don't Marry Her' and 'Dream A Little Dream'.

Heaton released his first solo album, Fat Chance, in 2001, and went on to release two further solo albums: 2008's The Cross-Eyed Rambler and 2010's Acid Country.

In 2011, Heaton wrote a musical called The 8th based on the seven deadly sins and asked Abbott to sing one of the parts. They went on to release three top five-charting albums as a duo: 2014's What Have We Become, 2015's Wisdom, Laughter And Lines and 2017's Crooked Calypso.

Heaton put together a career-spanning collection of his music in 2018 – from The Housemartins and The Beautiful South to his solo and duo work – titled The Last King Of Pop.

The year 2022 saw Heaton reach a significant birthday, which he celebrated in typically idiosyncratic style by putting £1,000 behind the bar of 60 carefully chosen pubs across the UK and Ireland so that fans could have a drink on him.

Heaton and Abbott's released N.K-Pop in October 2022, preceded by the poignant ballad ‘Still’, which was described as "beautifully heartbreaking" by Dawn French, and the gospel pop song ‘Too Much For One (Not Enough For Two). To support the new album, Heaton and Abbott confirmed a UK tour in November - December 2022.

On 26 June 2024, Heaton performs a special summer outdoor show at Cardiff Castle. Featuring guest singer Rianne Downey, the show will see
Heaton performing songs from throughout his career including classic tracks from The Beautiful South and The Housemartins.

Heaton's announced a new solo album, The Mighty Several, in 2024. Produced by The Lightning Seeds' Ian Broudie, the album is set for an October release with the single 'Fish "N' Chip Supper' coming out in June. Heaton also announced UK tour dates for November and December 2024, with Downey again appearing as a special guest and support The Zutons.

  • PARTY TIME

    by Sarah Jane on 07/06/2025First Direct Arena - LeedsRating: 5 out of 5

    Both myself and my son had a fabulous time. Paul Heaton is fantastic and the concert was amazing. Will definitely look at seeing him again.

  • Paul Heaton on top form

    by Cec Podd on 03/06/2025Bramall Lane Sheffield - SheffieldRating: 4 out of 5

    Musically the concert was fantastic although the sound was a bit fuzzy at times especially during the Lightning Seeds set. Our main gripe was with the length/time of queuing to get a drink. After 20 minutes of going nowhere we decided not to bother. Also the queue for the ladies toilets was long.

  • Not the best

    by Sallie on 30/05/2025Bramall Lane Sheffield - SheffieldRating: 1 out of 5

    I've followed paul all over and know how fab he is but this venue was a let down! The volume wasn't right the base drowned out his singing the toilet queue and state of the toilet was ridiculous and they ran out of cider! Poor!

  • Fab evening !

    by Claireabell on 30/05/2025Bramall Lane Sheffield - SheffieldRating: 5 out of 5

    Paul was amazing as expected, so was the female artist who sang with him(sorry I've forgotten her name!) the lightning seeds and shed seven were also absolutely great, such a brilliant atmosphere! ☺️

  • Rubbish venue

    by Wacker on 28/05/2025Bramall Lane Sheffield - SheffieldRating: 5 out of 5

    The venue was not very good, 45 minutes queues to get in into the concert, there was no running water in the toilets I used, huge queues for refreshments, so was not impressed with Bramall Lane, Paul Heaton & supports were good although missed half of the Lightning Seeds performance due to the horrendous queues.

  • Bramall lane

    by Dee on 27/05/2025Rating: 5 out of 5

    Excellent concert. Set list was fantastic. Stadium was a bit of a let down, huge queues to get in, couldn't get drink before concert started due to delays getting in then toilet queues awful as no water!
