With a voice that “could melt icebergs at 50 paces” (VOX), Briana Corrigan of The Beautiful South has returned to the stage after a 10-year hiatus with 4 hugely successful and largely sold-out tours throughout the UK and Ireland already completed, a new album in the pipeline and a series of brand-new gigs.
Expect Beautiful South classics, nestled among her own beautifully crafted songs and some unique takes on traditional favourites all combining to pack an intimate, heart-warming, emotional and joyous punch of connection.
Belfast born Corrigan is best known for delivering Beautiful South’s most successful single, the chart topping, No1. 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.
With the Beautiful South she sang on ‘Welcome To The Beautiful South’ in 1989, ‘Choke’ in 1990 and ‘0898 Beautiful South’ in 1992.
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”, “A revelation!” (Melody Maker), “A songwriter of wit and elegance” (Hot Press), “It’s like listening to someone sing you a story. The rain outside is drifting along the glass and this is a good soundtrack to tell the tale of its falling” (Melody Maker).
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.
