The South are set to perform at The Concorde Club in Eastleigh next month. The nine-piece band will take to the stage on Friday, September 13 as part of their 2024 tour. The South, which includes former members of The Beautiful South including singer Alison Wheeler and lifelong sax player Gaz Birtles, has already entertained fans at The Brook in Southampton in March.
Since Dave Hemingway, the original singer, left the group at the end of 2016, Gaz has moved across to front the band with Alison and taken on vocal duties. New for 2024, Gareth John joins both Gaz and Alison on vocals bringing his talents to the forefront, making him a third vocalist as part of the new set-up.
