Marti Pellow


26/10/2006

YOU don't need a smug Guilty Pleasures revisionist to tell you exactly how good Wet Wet Wet were in their heyday - but that was over 15 years ago and the lingering associations now are that annoying Love Is All Around song, and singer Marti Pellow's sad decline into heroin addiction.

To his credit, Pellow hasn't acted like he has anything to prove to anyone.

Having cleaned up and gotten off the drugs, his career has been surprising and diverse.

In 2002 , he hooked up with Chris Difford of Squeeze and went solo, followed it up with a West End role in the musical Chicago.

Credibility has finally arrived with the iminent release of a solo album, Moonlight Over Memphis. Recorded with legendary soul producer Willie Mitchell.

This gig is billed as a "greatest hits" show, so expect some Wet Wet Wet classics as well as the new incarnation of Pellow, soul man.
