Paul Heaton gets on his bike for pub tour

Published on March 10, 2010

Former Beautiful South frontman Paul Heaton is getting on his bike for a tour of UK pubs.

He’ll be stopping off for a gig at The Unicorn in Gunthorpe on May 17 as part of the tour that will see him cycle more than 1000 miles.

“I’m looking forward to pedalling around the country to promote cycling and the British pub,” he said.

“Both are very close to my heart. I’ve been cycling all my life and the British pub has provided most of my favourite stop off points. It saddens me to hear about so many pubs closing on a weekly basis so I want to do all I can to get people back to their local.”

Heaton made an appeal via The Publican, CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) and Facebook to see where fans wanted to see him play. Of the 912 suggested pubs he chose 16.

He will be playing tracks from his new solo record as well as the occasional song from his days with The Beautiful South and The Housemartins.
