Paul Young: « Songs and Stories »

Paul Young brings Songs and Stories to The Platform, Morecambe, on 25 March 2027. This intimate evening blends conversation with acoustic versions of the songs that marked his journey. He looks back to the breakthrough of No Parlez and the follow-up The Secret of Association, revisiting tracks like Wherever I Lay My Hat (That’s My Home) and Every Time You Go Away. The set favors stripped-back arrangements that highlight his soul-tinged voice and melodic sense, with room to explore influences and the music he’s made alongside the hits.

On stage, Young reconnects with his early pub rock and R&B roots from Streetband and Q-Tips, and touches on the Americana colors he’s taken further with Los Pacaminos. Between songs, he shares writing and studio memories, the stories behind the covers he made his own, and snapshots from years on the road. Expect familiar songs reframed, some lesser-known choices, and an open, conversational flow that brings the craft and the career into focus.
