24th Jun 2008

One of British music's most iconic figures is to play gigs in Birmingham and Leeds next month to celebrate the release of his latest album.

Paul Heaton - formally of The Housemartins and The Beautiful South - is to promote his new solo album The Cross Eyed Rambler with a gig at Birmingham's intimate Academy 2 venue next Thursday, July 3rd.

The popular vocalist - who has had number one hits with Caravan of Love and A Little Time - will then take his show to the Leeds Cockpit on July 5th, before also visiting London Islington Academy and playing a number of festivals across the summer.

Heaton will return to his current home town of Manchester - about which he wrote a song with The Beautiful South - on July 4th.

The Cross Eyed Rambler is Heaton's 14th studio album but the first in his solo career.
