Paul Young: Songs and Stories

Paul Young: Songs and Stories

Tuesday 19 May 2026

Music Talks

Paul Young broke into the big time 40 years ago when No Parlez went to number one and spawned iconic hits like Wherever I Lay My Hat (That’s My Home). More success followed with the number one album The Secret Of Association and the worldwide hit Every Time You Go Away, not forgetting the opening line for Band Aid and appearances at Wembley Stadium for Live Aid and Queen’s tribute to Freddie Mercury. Paul sustained that success–while having fun in his tex-mex band, Los Pacaminos.

Now, he’s looking back during these intimate shows, that combine conversation and acoustic versions of hit songs. Paul’s meeting fans, singing songs, and telling stories about his incredible career.

It’s time to revel in the classic hits and learn the stories behind them in this intimate show.
