   About The Morrisons
The Morrisons were originally formed in 1986 by Phil Andrews and Ian Churchward. In 1987 John Peel played their debut flexi single Listen To Your Heart. Following this exposure Johnny Dee gave away a limited run of 400 of the flexi's with his Especially Yellow fanzine and later that year they recorded the Storm EP for Brightons Playroom Discs. Live show's included sets with McCarthy and The Groove Farm. The band split in 1988.

Spurred on by the 2003 inclusion of Listen To Your Heart on the Sound Of Leamington Spa compilation CD on Firestation Records the band re-formed and in 2004 Firestation Records also released the CD Songs From The South Of England which was a compilation of the bands demo's 1986 - 1988.

The album Psycho Surfin was released in 2005 on The Golden Pathway label and featured 12 new Morrisons songs recorded during 2004. The album Electricar featuring 15 new Morrisons songs recorded in 2006 along with Brighter Days which is a bootleg of demo's and live recordings from 1986 to 1988 were both released on The Golden Pathway in 2007.

Also out in 2007 was the three track CD single Looking For Jeanie available from www.cloudberryrecords.com.

The band are currently rehearsing and recording new material and preparing for more gigs and a further CD album release of new material later in 2008 hopefully with the wonderful people at The Golden Pathway.

Hello Chaps, first off thanks for the Add. Secondly, I just realised who you are... We haven't seen each other since the Eighties (Popular Obscurities, The Calling, etc.)!!! That's at least 17 years ago.... How time flies when you're having fun! I'll try to come to the Torquay Gig you've got in. Have Fun, John.
