An extraordinary first night. A very welcome return.

Mark Morriss's first visit to Redditch Revival was extraordinary. The songs, the stories, the warmth in the room: it was everything we hoped for and more. We're delighted, and feel very lucky, to welcome him back to Whitetail @ The Hart on Wednesday 11 August 2027.

If you joined us last time, you'll know why we wanted to do it all again. If you missed it, this is your chance to see the voice of The Bluetones up close in Headless Cross.

Mark has spent the best part of three decades at the front of one of the most loved British guitar bands of the nineties. With The Bluetones, he released six studio albums and racked up fourteen Top 40 singles, including the iconic Slight Return. The band were fixtures on the biggest stages of the era, performing on The Word, Top of the Pops and Later... with Jools Holland, and building a loyal following that endures to this day.

Beyond The Bluetones, Mark has carved out a rich solo career with four acclaimed albums to his name. He has also collaborated with Matt Berry and the Maypoles, Mike Wilton and The Helicopter of the Holy Ghost, both on tour and on record, proving his versatility as a performer and songwriter.

As a solo live act, Mark blends songs from his extensive back catalogue with stories from his years on the road. Every show is different. Part acoustic set, part storytelling, part singalong. It is the kind of performance that thrives in a small room with an engaged audience.

Louder Than War described his live shows as having 'a serious love of music and song tempered with jocularity, making for a set of easy-going acoustic songs and a camaraderie that brings warmth to the room'. On-Magazine called him 'spellbinding, passionate, humorous and open, the sound of a singer who could take on the world'.

Back at Whitetail @ The Hart

Intimate, unpredictable and full of great music. Mark's first night with us showed exactly why these small-room performances are so special. We can't wait to have him back.

Wednesday 11 August 2027. Doors 7pm. Tickets from £25 + booking fee.
