Paul Young Songs & Stories

Paul Young brings Songs & Stories to Whitby Pavilion Theatre on 20 June 2026, a set shaped by the voice and songwriting that took him from the UK pub circuit to the charts. First heard with Streetband and then Q-Tips, he forged a style rooted in soul feeling and clean, melodic pop — a balance he carried into his solo work, where carefully recast covers rubbed shoulders with original material.

Across No Parlez, The Secret of Association and Between Two Fires, Young defined a sound that sits between blue‑eyed soul and soft rock, with songs like Wherever I Lay My Hat (That’s My Home) and Every Time You Go Away now part of his core repertoire. The 90s opened new angles with Other Voices and The Crossing, leaning toward American textures, while his side project Los Pacaminos explored tex‑mex and country rock in a looser, rootsier vein.

On stage, expect him to thread these chapters together — early bands, breakthrough singles, studio turns and collaborations — with the laid‑back storytelling promised by the show’s title. Songs re‑arranged, stories from the sessions and the road, and that distinct, unforced delivery that anchors his catalogue.
