About this concert
The Bluetones are a band tied to their Brit Pop past but with tunes that begin to transcend it too” – Louder Than War
The Bluetones first came to prominence in 1995, when their debut release ‘Are You Blue Or Are You Blind’ broke into the Top 40. The single proved to be the launching pad for a run that saw 14 hit singles and 6 albums follow on from it.
From thereon, the band, made up of brothers Mark & Scott Morriss alongside Adam Devlin and Eds Chesters, enjoyed considerable UK and Ireland successes, extending out across into Europe and Japan, before taking a hiatus in 2011 that lasted for 4 years.
Since then they have re-established themselves as one of the UK’s most consistently entertaining live acts, regularly touring their extensive catalogue to their army of devoted fans.
2024 saw the band release the first new Bluetones material in 14 years, culminating in a packed out tour across the UK. In 2025, the promise of new music continues, as the band gear up to release more Bluetones joy into the world, alongside a huge tour, taking in some of the prominent cities and towns in the land.
“The Bluetones run the gamut from classic indie-pop to psychedelic-tinged rock with unselfconscious ease” – The Scotsman

The Bluetones Biography
The Bluetones are an English 'britpop' band, formed in Hounslow in 1994, featuring Mark Morriss (vocals, keyboards & occasional guitar), Adam Devlin (guitars), Scott Morriss (bass guitar & backing vocals), and Eds Chesters (drums- the man who has both plural forename and surname!)
Understandably classed as a Britpop band, given that their appearance and initial huge success with songs such as "Slight Return" coincided completely with the Britpop explosion, their debut record "Expecting To Fly" is actually a beautifully fragile affair. Adam Devlin's Stone Roses-esque guitars chime and soar beautifully over Morriss's lovelorn lyrics. As time has gone on, The Bluetones have actually become a more conventional 'indie' band - whilst notching up classic hits such as "Marblehead Johnson", "If..." and "Keep The Home Fires Burning" they have struggled to replicate the togetherness of their debut. After 7 top 20 UK chart placings in total, they are now well out of the public eye, but unlike almost all of their peers, continue to release albums and tour with strong support wherever they play from the 'Blue Army'. In December 2008, they performed a short uk tour performing "Expecting To Fly" in it's entirety.
Members of the band have made cameo appearances in the British comedy shows Spaced and Little Britain.
Vocalist Mark Morriss released a solo EP under the alias Fi-Lo Beddow in 2006, which eventually bloomed into a full solo record under his real name. "Memory Muscle" was released in June 2008, and received a surprising amount of critical acclaim, given the music press' frosty attitude to Bluetones material. It included new versions of the songs which made up the Fi-Lo Beddow EP, and most oddly, featured strings arrnaged by film score composer David Arnold.
