Tony Morris was brought up listening to classical music and the popular music of the 1940s and ‘50s.
He did his fair share of bar room and pub singing in the late ‘50s and early ‘60s. 
Marriages and family intervened so he missed ‘The Folk Revival’.
From the ‘80s to the ‘90s he gained a great deal of experience in Amateur Theatre.
He did not appear on the Folk Club scene until the mid ‘90s 
when, as a poet and improvising musician, 
he was a regular at the Black Swan Folk Club in York.

In 2002 
Tony Morris 
made a career change to work full-time in the Arts.
His songwriting began in 2004

Tony Morris 
is a regular performer at 
Folk Clubs 
from 
York to Teesside
