Welcome to Malcolm Morley’s official website

22104603_1909293752444745_3588978130970918532_oIf you’ve arrived here, you’ll no doubt be aware of Malc’s past musical journey with Help Yourself and Man – or perhaps his dalliances with Wreckless Eric, Kirsty MacColl and Deke Leonard’s Iceberg (to name just three). The great news is that Malcolm is still writing new material and doing the odd gig. Please go to the ‘news’ section of this website for more info – or visit the Facebook page. Huge thanks to Martin Ace and Man for letting Malc join the fun on their 50th Anniversary tour. Some photos from the Cardiff gig are coming soon!

JANE’S GALLERY

Malcolm has written and recorded some music to accompany a gallery of his beloved partner Jane’s wonderful paintings and illustrations. Click here to take a look and have a listen!

RICHARD TREECE’S MEMORIAL GIG

For those that couldn't make it to the memorial gig for Richard Treece – and indeed, for those that wish to re-live what was a tremendous occasion – some soundfiles have been uploaded of the (fantastic) performances of Son of Man, The Jack Bentley Blues Band and The Green Ray.

DEKE LEONARD RIP

"We have lost somebody who was the real deal. A man with the true Bardic gift. He was funny, with a savage wit which he practiced freely. He was great company and a fine musician too – even if he would not admit it. Deke supported and encouraged my early life in the music world, pressed the other lads to get me into Man, and stood in for me in the Help when I was sick with depression. Richard Treece's memorial gig in Walthamstow was the last time I saw the old devil and we talked about this and that... and cricket, which we both love. Deke's passing is a sad loss to the world at large – and heaven knows we need every spark we can get these days."

SOCIAL MEDIA?

Putting together this website has been a (wait for it, cliché is coming) 'learning curve' - but I think we're getting there slowly. Also being tackled are the various social media 'channels'. So far, there's a Malcolm Morley Facebook page and a fledgling Twitter account (@bewaretheshadow), to be followed soon by an Instagram account. More news on the latter to follow. And if all goes well, who knows, maybe even a YouTube channel. Steady! Please help support all this by following, friending etc. Thanks... Malc
