It's just over two weeks until legendary singer songwriter Paul Young hits the road for a huge UK theatre tour lasting until mid-June. The tour, which is named 'From No Parlez To The Secret Of The Association' will look back at his incredible career during these intimate shows, that will combine conversation and acoustic versions of many of his hit songs.

Paul will be meeting fans, singing songs, and telling stories about his life in music, with audiences able to learn about the stories behind the songs. In the early part of his career, Paul Young was a member of bands including Kat Kool and The Kool Cats, Streetband, and Q-Tips, before going solo and becoming one of the biggest artists of a generation. Releasing ten studio albums, three live albums, numerous compilations and box sets, and over 30 singles, he was a regular artist in the top ten of the singles charts during the 1980's with hits such as 'Love Of The Common People', 'Wherever I Lay My Hat (that's my home)', 'Come Back & Stay', 'Every Time You Go Away', and 'Everything Must Change'. He was a key part of the charity single 'Do They Know It's Christmas?' in 1984, where he sang the iconic opening lines on the song, and was then awarded a Brit Award in 1985 as 'Best British Male Solo Artist', and has been present at gigs and festivals around the world ever since, both as a solo artist and with his band 'Los Pacaminos' which he formed as a side project in 1993. Paul's 'An Intimate Evening With Paul Young' tour will hit the road on April 1st and will tour the UK until June 15th. The show will take place locally on April 4th at Stockport's Romiley Forum Theatre, with tickets available from the venue website.

    For a decade The Clash gave the music scene songs and live shows which would ensure they would live forever as one of the most influential and important British bands of all time. Forming in London in 1976, the classic Clash line up of Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon and Nicky Headon were one of the first UK bands in a punk scene which would change the course of music forever.
