Vocalist and keyboard player Paul Carrack is an integral part of UK soul and pop history from the 1970's when you look at the bands he has worked with. Carrack has been part of Mike + the Mechanics, Squeeze & Roxy Music to name a few and the talented songwriter and performer's live show is a great way to see some of these classics performed live with his own talented backing band.
His own solo work is received really well by audiences, and the Mike + the Mechanics tracks are really personalised now to Carrack so the set feels really fluid, there's no waiting around for the big hits. Although that's not to say they're not there in force, Paul plays brilliant versions of 'Another Cup Of Coffee' and the mega hit 'The Long Years' which is his biggest selling hit Stateside to this date. It's the singalong 'Over My Shoulder' though that really gets crowds clapping and singing along as Paul and his band play out this true pop/rock classic.
Constantly adding and changing his sets, the cover of Bruce Springsteen's 'If I Should Fall Behind' sounds brilliant in these intimate venues as Paul's raspy, synonymous tones carry this iconic tune by a fellow iconic musician. Paul is a truly talented musician who has one of the most varied and impressive discographies, his upcoming UK tour should not be missed by any fans of the many bands and genres he has been part of.
