Beautiful South’s Briana Corrigan to perform intimate show at Blackburn Empire

Belfast-born singer Briana Corrigan, best known as the original voice behind The Beautiful South’s chart-topping hit A Little Time, will perform live at the Blackburn Empire Theatre on Tuesday, 28 October 2025.

Corrigan’s distinctive vocals helped make A Little Time the band’s first and only UK No.1 single — a Brit Award-winning anthem to broken love that remains one of the most memorable songs of the 1990s.

This rare live show offers the chance to hear her “stupendous vocal” (NME) up close, in an evening that blends storytelling and song.

Audiences can expect Beautiful South classics alongside Corrigan’s own original songs and unique renditions of traditional favourites, performed with warmth and wit.

Her solo performances have been praised for their honesty and emotional depth, with Q Magazine describing her style as “balladry of the highest calibre” and Melody Maker calling her “a revelation.”
