About
The Bluetones formed in 1993 and released their debut album Expecting To Fly in 1996 which entered the UK album charts at No. 1. The singles ‘Bluetonic’, Slight Return’ and ‘Cut Some Rug’ all crashed into the Top 20 and the band went on to tour all over the world. More hits followed including ‘Solomon Bites The Worm’, ‘If’ and ‘Autophilia (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love My Car)’ and this set will see the band perform Expecting to Fly in full and a greatest hits set. The band, consisting of the original line up of Mark Morriss (vocals), Adam Devlin (guitar), Scott Morriss (bass) and Eds Chesters (drums) have earned a reputation as an engaging and dynamic live outfit.
Mark Morris explained why they are doing this tour “Playing an album in its entirety is a pleasurable way of experiencing the natural cadences of the record as it was intended, unlike a normal set where the light and shade changes every night… These events are always such a celebration, a real joy to play. Nobody takes anything too seriously and the emphasis is always on playful hedonism for a day.”
