PAUL Heaton and Jacqui Abbott have released a new album this October and will now embark on their biggest headline UK tour in the spring of 2016.

Wisdom, Laughter and Lines is the new album from Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott.

This record is the second from Paul and Jacqui following the critically acclaimed What Have We Become, which saw them return together on record for the first time since the multi-million selling days of The Beautiful South, who in the 1990s and early 2000s released a string of critically-acclaimed records.

Wisdom, Laughter and Lines is a wonderful contemporary record, full of lyrical wit and humour, whilst retaining a strong social conscience that touches on the changing social landscape of Britain, the first single from the album is The Austerity of Love which was Record of the Week on BBC Radio 2 and has been added straight on to the A Playlist at the station.

Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott released their album on October 23.

The pair will perform songs from the new album which is out now at St David’s Hall, Cardiff on Monday, March 21, 2016.
