The former Housemartins and Beautiful South frontman is no stranger to Scarborough Open Air Theatre having twice headlined before - and he delivered another fantastic show at the historic Yorkshire coast venue.
Paul Heaton invited guest vocalist Rianne Downey, who brilliantly deputised for long-time collaborator Jacqui Abbott.
Ahead of the gig, Paul generously left £1000 each behind the bar of five pubs so fans could have a drink on him.
The star said during his performance that as long as the Conservative government are in power, he’ll keep leaving drinks behind bars during what he calls a ‘cost of greed crisis’.
Paul delivered a set which included the classics Old Red Eyes Is Back, Song For Whoever, A Little Time, Happy Hour, Don’t Marry Her and Caravan of Love
Support came from indie legends Lightning Seeds whose set included the iconic songs Change, The Life of Riley and Three Lions.
Next up at Scarborough Open Air Theatre is Hollywood Vampires on Wednesday July 5, The Cult on Thursday July 6, Tom Grennan on Friday July 7 and Pulp on July 9.
