The Bluetones - Mark Morriss Interview - Episode 36
About this episode
This episode features an interview with Mark Morriss of The Bluetones, discussing the band's history and upcoming projects.
Today’s episode is about a band who, for a brief moment in the mid-1990s, were right at the centre of British music — and yet somehow in our opinion never quite get spoken about in the same breath as the biggest Britpop names. This is the story of The Bluetones. The band has scored thirteen top 40 singles and three top 10 albums on the UK charts. They also in 1996 knocked Oasis off the top spot with their debut album. We feature a career spanning interview with Mark Morriss who shares many stories and anecdotes and also talks about the 30th Anniversary of Expecting to Fly and their plans for 2026. Details are on the link below on their website and this also includes details of their new album Atlas which is released in May this year 2026. https://bluetones.band/ This is an episode with great music and great stories and the Interview with Mark starts at 23:36 minutes in to the episode after a short biography of the band. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
