Mark Morriss (Shed Seven Support) - Glasgow - Barrowland - Thursday December 12 2013
Following the excellent opening set from Pete MacLeod, the crowd welcomed Mark Morriss (of the Bluetones) to the stage for a solo acoustic set. The crowd instantly warmed to Mark’s mesmerising tone and from the number of people sporting MM and Bluetones T-shirts I got the impression there were a number of fans at this gig not just here to see Shed Seven.
The set-list included solo material and Bluetones tracks as Mark dipped into his extensive back-catalogue. The crowd were certainly appreciating the songs on offer and responded by singing their hearts out to Keep the Home Fires Burning and the outstanding Slight Return. Mark closed-out the set with a great cover of Lionel Ritchie’s Hello and left the stage with the crowd wanting more……
Fortunately fans of Mark’s work will not have to wait too long to hear him again as I was pleased to discover he is heading back to Scotland to play the Admiral Bar next February.
Tickets for the Admiral gig are available here:
