Title: Beautiful South Rollcall
Post by: kosmo vinyl on November 02, 2006, 10:41:00 am

Anyone going? I've been listening to lot of them of late and definitely psyched about seeing them alive again, haven't seen them live since around 92.  Plus I get to DJ!

 How much of the original line up will we get to experience?

There is a new female singer in the band and it looks like the original lineup is intact otherwise.
 
 The Beautiful South are: Paul Heaton (vocals), Alison Wheeler (vocals), Dave Hemingway (vocals), Sean Welch (bass), Dave Rotheray (guitar) and Dave Stead (drums).

Think the band will start at 8:30?  I'm swamped at work and on one of those 8:00 a.m. flights out of Dulles tomorrow, so I'm trying to utilize every moment today....
 
 Also, anyone know about the opener?
 
 Thanks

I'd say yes to 8:30pm start time given the late shows doors...

Fantastic Show!  Everyone was in fine voice and the band was crackin...  You have to give them credit touring the US with a 11 piece band without US label support is mighty ambitious.  They closed with "Women In The Wall" a long time fav...

OMG, I absolutely loved the show.  It was my first time seeing them live and they sounded great.  Watching Paul dance was a treat.  Icing on the cake was going over to the nearby Irish bar for a pint after the show with all the guys (band and crew).  What a down to earth, generous group.
 
 Mega thanks to Seth for booking them and thanks to them for bringing the whole "family" and giving us a full experience.
