On this day, 20 July 2001, rock band All About Eve played Cardiff’s Coal Exchange on a mainly acoustic tour after releasing live albums Fairy Light Nights in 2000, and Fairy Light Nights Volume 2 in 2001.
The initial creative core consisted of Coventry-born Julianne Regan (vocals), Huddersfield-born Tim Bricheno (guitar) and Andy Cousin (bass guitar), with other members changing over the years.
Their highest-charting UK single was "Martha's Harbour" (1988). The band was active from 1984 to 1993, then 1999 to 2004, achieving four UK Top-50 albums.
The band had been recognised for their "unique, folk-rock-influenced take" on the gothic rock style, and Regan has been described as "certainly one of the more talented singers" of the scene in the late 1980s.
