Tickets go on sale from 9.30am (UK) on Friday 25th November at gigsandtours.com

Paul and Jacqui's critically acclaimed new album Wisdom, Laughter and Lines is out now.

“Glorious hymns to life’s simple pleasures….rich acerbic lyrics set against exuberant music informed by Heaton’s encyclopaedic love of pop and soul.”

The Guardian

“…a timeless, catchy pop album shot through with (the Alan Bennett of pop) Heaton’s razor-sharp Northern wit.”

bbc.co.uk

“…a smart, eclectic and outgoing album – the pair’s vocal chemistry matched by Heaton’s tart, funny, sharply observed lyrics. There’s testifying rock’n’reggae, gospel, epic sad-eyed kitchen sink balladry, pub dub and Northern soul sass. Smiles all round.” 4*
