The Southmartins have carved themselves a unique niche in the tribute world. Playing fast and loose with the many hits of The Beautiful South and The Housemartins, very much making many of the songs their own, and involving the audience along the way makes for a special kind of night. Not mere imitation or an attempt to "recreate" anything but a tribute in the true sense. A fully formed, original and often unpredictable show each time that keeps the spirit and "twinkle in the eye" of Mr Heaton and co intact. Having toured across the UK constantly since forming in 2010 they continue to build their reputation as the leading tribute to these bands. With tours of O2 Academies and other prestigious music venues now a regular fixture of their schedule and only limited dates available it's a case of "catch them when you can" with many returning to repeat gigs and following them across the country. As Paul Heaton himself said "They're really good! This show has Sold out every time we have hosted the band so booking tickets early is advised to avoid disappointment.
