THE South - the band made up of former members of The Beautiful South - have announced a return to Blackburn next year.

Now fronted by Alison Wheeler and Gaz Birtles, who replaced Dave Hemingway as singer when he left the band in 2016, they have become one of the most popular live acts on tour.

The band have also been working on new material.
