"Victim of an overdose or recipient of bullet. Just the harvest of the finger or the wrist. It's the needle or the trigger, the 8th could push or pull it As long as folk believe that he exists" One of Manchester's greatest songwriters Paul Heaton (The Beautiful South, The Housemartins), premieres an epic new pop song, THE 8TH, in a thrilling live show. Joined onstage by his band and a host of special guests, Heaton transports you to a destitute neighbourhood where the seven deadly sins unfurl. From the seven an eighth is born - a new and thoroughly modern sin that imprisons all who cross its path. The 8th is a musical masterpiece entwined with a theatrical narrative.T1222052769Presented bySJM Concerts. Producer Manchester International Festival. Producer Paines Plough. Director George Perrin.
