Three Decades of “Love Is All Around”

Their rendition of “Love Is All Around,” originally by The Troggs, dominated the UK charts for an incredible 15 weeks in 1994.

A Career-Spanning Setlist and a Special Tribute
Fans can anticipate a memorable journey through Pellow’s musical legacy. The tour promises a setlist encompassing Wet Wet Wet’s greatest hits alongside selections from his successful solo career. Naturally, “Love Is All Around” will take center stage, with Pellow hinting at a unique tribute planned for the iconic track.
