Briana Corrigan (The Beautiful South)
“One of the most distinctive voices in pop” – Time Out

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience an intimate, heart-warming, and joyous evening of story and song with Briana Corrigan, the iconic former vocalist of The Beautiful South.

Returning to the stage following a 10-year hiatus, Briana has already completed five hugely successful, largely sold-out tours across the UK and Ireland, and arrives with a brand-new album in the pipeline.

About the Artist
Born in Belfast, Briana’s unforgettable voice is best known for delivering The Beautiful South’s most successful single: the chart-topping, Brit Award-winning No. 1 hit, A Little Time. Her unique vocal styling, combined with Paul Heaton’s brilliantly acerbic lyrics, created an enduring anthem to broken love.

Beyond her band years, Briana has established herself as a formidable songwriter in her own right. She has released two critically acclaimed solo albums, drawing widespread praise from the music press:

“Her forte… chest-hugging, breast-beating balladry of the highest calibre.” – Q Magazine
“A songwriter of wit and elegance.” – Hot Press
“A revelation! It’s like listening to someone sing you a story. The rain outside is drifting along the glass and this is a good soundtrack to the tale of its falling.” – Melody Maker
What to Expect
Described by VOX as a voice that “could melt icebergs at 50 paces”, this is a unique chance to hear her stupendous vocals up close and personal.

Briana will lead the evening on vocals and guitar, backed by a beautifully stripped-back band featuring an additional guitarist and cellist. The setlist will pack an emotional punch, weaving together:

– Classic hits from The Beautiful South
– Her own beautifully crafted solo material
– Unique, fresh takes on traditional favourites

“Corrigan’s vocals still sparkle with gold dust.” – The Irish Independent
