Mark James Morriss (born 18 October 1971 in Hounslow, Middlesex[1]) is an English singer-songwriter, formerly the lead singer for The Bluetones who split up in September 2011 following a farewell tour.[2] He is the older brother of former bandmate and bass player/illustrator Scott Morriss and is currently pursuing a solo career.
His debut solo album, Memory Muscle, was released in May 2008. A gentler, folk-tinged record, it includes five re-recorded tracks which had previously been released under the name “Fi-Lo Beddow” as an EP in February 2006. The strings on the record were arranged by David Arnold, who became a fan of Expecting to Fly whilst scoring Independence Day.[3]
In May 2011, Morriss played at the LeeStock Music Festival in Sudbury, Suffolk as the headline act on the closing Sunday,[4] and it was announced that he would also be performing again at the festival on 3 June 2012.
