Having toured as a solo artist since 2008, Mark Morriss, best known as the lead singer of 1990?s indie favourites The Bluetones, has spent the best part of 3 decades honing his craft as a live performer.
During that time Mark released 6 albums with The Bluetones, including 14 Top 40 singles, 4 albums as a solo artiste, and collaborated with Matt Berry and the Maypoles, Mike Wilton, and The Helicopter Of The Holy Ghost on tours and on record.
As a live performer Mark is able to blend songs from his extensive back catalogue with stories of his time on the road, providing an entertaining show that prides itself on never being the same twice.
?The symbolic of Morriss? style as a solo performer; a serious love of music and song tempered with jocularity. It makes for a set of easy-going acoustic songs and a camaraderie that brings a warmth to the winter that gathers around us.? (Louder Than War).
Mark Morriss is a singer songwriter who famously made his name fronting English indie outfit The Bluetones. Mark fronted the four piece over a successful and fruitful 15 year period, scoring 14 top ten singles and 3 top ten albums, whilst touring the UK, Europe and Japan. At the back end of 2011 the decision was made to disband The Bluetones, resulting in a shock farewell tour. Hordes of loyal Bluetones fans turned out in their thousands to give the band they called their own, a fond and sad farewell. A case of unfinished business, Mark Morriss has now turned his attentions to his solo career. After releasing ‘Memory Muscle ’ in 2008, Mark has since penned material for a new record. Due for an Autumn release, early demos recorded with long standing Producer, Gordon Mills (Ed Sheeran/Newton Faulkner) have sparked great excitement from fans and industry a-like. Fans have been treated to a two track giveaway in ‘Low Company’ & ‘Guilty Again’ through the official website www.markmorriss.me Touring extensively throughout the remainder of 2012 and gearing towards the much anticipated album release, you can catch Mark Morriss live as he continues to tour up and down the UK.
