THE BLUETONES ACOUSTIC MORRISS AND DEVLIN

The Bluetones frontman Mark Morriss and his partner in crime Adam Devlin are bringing their 'Bluetones Acoustic' show to Venue38 this year.

The band, formed in 1993, had an impressive run of hit singles throughout the late 90's/early 00's, including 'Bluetonic', 'Slight Return', 'Marblehead Johnson', 'Solomon Bites The Worm', 'If' and 'Keep the Fires Burning'. They scored thirteen Top 40 singles and three Top 10 albums in the UK charts before a hiatus in 2010. Returning in 2015 with a run sell out shows the band continue to tour to packed houses up and down the UK. This is a unique chance to hear the classics stripped back with shows at more intimate venues the band don't usually play.

"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

"Spellbinding; passionate, humorous and open – the sound of a singer who could take on the world."– On-Magazine.
