ABOUT THIS EVENT
The Bluetones' frontman plays an intimate unplugged gig on the Isle of Wight. This one's for the die-hards only, indie kids.
Mark Morriss, he of the floppy Britpop locks and that voice that soundtracked your sixth form years, is swapping the Bluetones' big guitar sound for something more stripped-back and raw. Holed up in the cosy confines of Strings Bar & Venue on the Isle of Wight, this gig is a rare chance to get up close and personal with the man himself. Expect to hear all the hits ('Slight Return', 'Bluetonic') reimagined for just voice and guitar, plus some deeper cuts that'll have the super-fans swooning. An atmospheric, 16-and-over venue with a laidback island vibe – get the ferry from Portsmouth and make a day (or night) of it. £16.50 to get in, which is a steal for this level of indie royalty.
