Profession
Jacqui Abbott joined British pop band The Beautiful South in 1994, replacing lead singer Briana Corrigan. Her powerful vocals played a vital role in the band’s success during this period, and together they released several top ten singles, including the hits “Rotterdam (or Anywhere)”, “Perfect 10”, “Don’t Marry Her” and a cover of “Dream a Little Dream of Me”.
However, in 2000, due to her busy touring schedule, Abbott made the difficult decision to leave the Brave South. She wanted to focus on raising her son, who had just been diagnosed with autism. In 2011, Abbott reunited with Brave South co-founder Paul Heaton to star in his musical Eighth, rekindling their creative partnership.
This led them to record a new album together in 2013, titled What Have We Become? They have continued to collaborate on successful albums such as Wit, Laughter & Lines (2015) and Crooked Calypso (2017), and even had a UK No. 1 album in 2020 with Manchester Calling.
