Briana Corrigan of The Beautiful South
The Beautiful South was one of the biggest bands of the 1980’s and 90’s. The original band had three lead vocalists, Paul Heaton, Dave Hemingway, and the amazing Briana Corrigan. Now over 40 years later, Briana is back on the road performing songs from her expansive career, including TBS classics nestled among her own beautifully crafted songs, as well as some unique takes on traditional favourites.
With a voice that ‘could melt icebergs at 50 paces’ (VOX), Belfast-born Briana Corrigan is best known for delivering Beautiful South’s most successful single, the chart-topping, No. 1, Brit Award-winning A Little Time, where her unique vocal- ‘one of the most distinctive voices in pop’ (Time Out)- and Heaton’s brilliantly acerbic lyrics and catchy melody combined to create an unforgettable anthem to broken love.
As a songwriter in her own right, Corrigan has released 2 critically acclaimed solo albums, enjoying accolades from the likes of Q magazine, ‘her forte…. chest hugging breast beating balladry of the highest calibre’. This is a rare opportunity to hear Corrigan’s ‘stupendous vocal’ (NME) up close and personal as she entertains with an evening of story and song.
