The Southmartins + support from Daniel Maple

A welcome return for the highly acclaimed tribute to The Beautiful South and the Housemartins ("They're really good" - Paul Heaton), The Southmartins bring their unique, high-energy take on the hits and bits of these two classic bands back to The Fire Station. With sets packed full of singalongs such as Happy Hour, Perfect 10, Don't Marry Her, Song For Whoever, You Keep It All In, Old Red Eyes is Back, Me and The Farmer, Good as Gold, Rotterdam, Caravan of Love and many more you'll leave with a smile on your face and a song in your heart.

The band have played extensively across the UK throughout their 16 year career span, playing to packed houses with an unrivalled atmosphere from these feelgood back catalogues. 2026 also sees the band celebrate 40 years of The Housemartins’ classic debut album London 0 Hull 4 with a sprinkling of extra songs from that era in the show.
