Celebrated alternative rockers bring their unique brand of forceful, dark and atmospheric music to a variety of events and locations across the UK. One phase of the tour will see the band embarking on a series of headline shows in Huddersfield, Milton Keynes, Norwich and Buckley.

Balaam And The Angel are three brothers who were born in Scotland and grew up on a council estate in Cannock in Staffordshire. They played music together as teenagers but finally formed Balaam And The Angel in the early 80’s inspired at that time by the new scene that was developing around Bauhaus, The Sisters Of Mercy, Southern Death Cult, Theatre Of Hate etc. and a collective experience at the Futurama Festival in Bingley Hall, Stafford in 1981. The band achieved great success in the 80s alternative and rock scenes, signing to Virgin Records for their debut album ‘The Greatest Story Ever Told’, and touring the world with the likes of The Mission, Kiss, The Cult, Aerosmith and Iggy Pop until the release of their last album ‘Prime Time’ in 1993.

On Friday 25th October 2024, Balaam And The Angel released ‘Forces Of Evil’, a collection of songs recorded to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the band’s first 4 track EP World Of Light (released in Nov 1984). It was the group’s first release of new material for over 30 years.

The sound of the record marries the feel of the band’s darker past with the punchier edge of their later releases. Reviews of the new songs were universally positive as were the reviews of initial set of dates to promote the release in November of 2024.

The band continue to support the very successful release of the EP, videos and enthusiastic audience response to their 2024 tour with a further series of dates across the UK. These dates include a carefully selected series of headline shows alongside some “festival” style events.

Balaam And The Angel are:

Mark Morris – bass/vocals

Jim Morris – guitar/keyboards

Balaam And The Angel come to Milton Keynes in October

Des Morris - drums
