Mark Morriss, frontman of The Bluetones, to perform at Chew’s Yard in Preston this summer
The frontman of a chart-hitting Britpop band is heading to Preston later this year.
Mark Morriss, best known as the distinctive voice of The Bluetones, brings his acclaimed solo show to Chew’s Yard on Saturday June 6, joined by special guest Stuart Gornall.
With a career spanning nearly three decades, Morriss has established himself as one of the UK’s most engaging live performers.
As frontman of The Bluetones, he released six studio albums and achieved 14 Top 40 singles and since embarking on a solo career in 2008, he has released four solo albums.
Beyond his solo work and band success, Morriss has collaborated both live and in the studio with a range of artists including Matt Berry and the Maypoles, Mike Wilton, and The Helicopter Of The Holy Ghost.
What can we expect from his Preston show?
Audiences can expect an intimate and entertaining evening as Morriss blends songs from across his extensive back catalogue with tales from life on the road.
His solo performances are known for their warmth, humour and spontaneity—no two shows are ever the same.
Critical acclaim for Morriss’ solo performances includes:
“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
“Spellbinding; passionate, humorous and open – the sound of a singer who could take on the world.” – On-Magazine
Guests are also encouraged to arrive early to enjoy food and drinks from Chew’s Yard’s five independent traders before the show.
