Fresh from their well-received, sold-out performance at the Academy in June, Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott have just announced six new Irish tour dates for October, including a night at Dublin’s Olympia Theatre. Heaton and Abbott’s new album What Have We Become is their first collaboration since their days as bandmates in The Beautiful South in the 1990. The pair are clearly delighted to be working together again, as Heaton explains: "Jacqui is one of the best singers I've worked with and is also part of my past. It was only a matter of time before I asked her."
The dates are as follows:
OCTOBER 26: DERRY NERVE CENTRE

OCTOBER 27: BELFAST ULSTER HALL

OCTOBER 28: DUBLIN OLYMPIA THEATRE

OCTOBER 30: GALWAY SEAPOINT

OCTOBER 31: LIMERICK BIG TOP

NOVEMBER 1: WEXFORD SPIEGLETENT
Tickets are priced at €29.90 and go on sale next Friday June 25 at Ticketmaster outlets and on [link]www.ticketmaster.ie[/link].
