With a career spanning 40 years, Paul Heaton has seen chart success as a member of The Housemartin and The Beautiful South, together with Jacqui Abbott and as a solo artist.
From Happy Hour and Caravan of Love to Song For Whoever and A Little Time, he’s been behind a host of much-loved songs.
He recently released his tenth studio album, The Mighty Several, teaming up with Scottish folk singer Rianne Downey.
The duo are now on tour in support of the record and played Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on Sunday (December 1).
They played a sprawling 25-song setlist covering Heaton’s four decades of songwriting and performing.
With all tickets priced at £35 (plus the inevitable booking fees) they are bucking the trend for eye-wateringly expensive music gigs and also had a big name support band in the shape of the Zutons.
Here are a few pictures of the gig, along with the full setlist.
