Transcription

Early life

Luke was born on the 19th of June 1960 in Camberwell, London, and attended Haberdasher Aske's Hatcham College. There he met Danny Bowes for the first time, in September 1971. They became friends three years later and formed the band Nuthin' Fancy, and spent four years touring in South London before forming Terraplane.[3]

Terraplane

After Nuthin' Fancy, Morley and Bowes went on to form the band Terraplane.[2] They appeared at the Reading Festival in 1982 and released two albums before breaking up in 1988. Both Morley and Bowes decided they wanted to pursue a hard rock sound.

Thunder

Morley formed Thunder in 1989 with Bowes and Harry James from Terraplane and were joined by Ben Matthews. They signed a record deal with EMI in 1989.[3]

The Union

In 2009, when Thunder announced that they were splitting up, Morley became the lead guitarist and co-songwriter for the rock band the Union, which he formed with guitarist and co-songwriter, Peter Shoulder. [citation needed] They released three albums before Thunder reformed in 2011.[4]

Return to Thunder

Thunder reformed in 2011 following a two-year hiatus, and has since released another five albums.

Solo career

Morley released his first solo album, El Gringo Retro, in 2001. Tales from the Blue Room, which was recorded during the COVID-19 lockdowns, followed in 2023.[5] Morley played all of the instruments except drums on the album, and is due to tour in January 2024 to promote the album.[6]

The Quireboys

In November 2023 it was announced that Morley had recorded an album with the Quireboys, and would tour in 2024 to promote the album.[7]
