Gentleman of pop Mark Morriss, famously made his name fronting The Bluetones. After fourteen top ten singles, three top ten albums and worldwide success - they played a farewell tour last autumn to thousands of loyal fans. Mark follows his debut solo album, ‘Memory Muscle’, a new album recorded with Ed Sheeran producer, Gordon Mills. The classic sound of ‘Low Company’ at http://markmorriss.me/ is on form and pledges for the new album have passed 80% in the first day http://pledgemusic.com/projects/markmorriss where there is a message (and gorgeous, personal video). A consummate live entertainer, Mark is naturally blessed with both charm and style. He mixes solo material with Bluetones favourites to really please a crowd. Playhard LUVZ Mark, who is back by very popular demand. Get set for an intimate evening with a lot of both charm and style.
