Timeline

1962

Martin James "Boz" Boorer (born 19 May 1962 in Edgware, Middlesex, England) is an English guitarist and producer who founded the new wave rockabilly group the Polecats; and for a 30-year period beginning in 1991 was co-writer, guitarist and musical director with Morrissey.

1977

The band Cult Heroes was formed in 1977 by Tim Worman (known as Tim Polecat, vocalist), Boz Boorer (guitarist and vocalist), Phil Bloomberg (bassist), and Chris Hawkes (drummer).

After finding much difficulty persuading promoters to book them on the rockabilly circuit with a name sounding "too punk", they adopted Hawkes' suggested band name The Polecats.

Hawkes later was replaced by Neil Rooney.

1979

Three years after forming, the band signed to the fledgling British rockabilly label Nervous Records, and released the single "Rockabilly Guy" in 1979.

1980

By 1980, the Polecats had signed to Mercury Records.

The same year, they released their most successful LP Polecats Are Go!.

The band had UK chart success with a David Bowie cover "John, I'm Only Dancing", a reworking of "Rockabilly Guy", and another cover version of the T.Rex song "Jeepster".

1981

Boorer has been married to Lyn since 1981, and they have two daughters: Pearl-May and Billie-Rose.

1983

In 1983, they entered the charts in the United States with their song "Make a Circuit with Me".

Shortly after, John Buck replaced Neil Rooney on drums.

He also worked with his wife's band, the Shillelagh Sisters, between 1983 and 1998.

1989

Boorer left the group in the same year but in 1989 he led a Polecats reunion which produced a live album and a new studio set.

1991

Boorer, along with guitarist Alain Whyte, joined Morrissey in 1991 when the singer assembled a new band tour in promotion of his album Kill Uncle.

With Whyte, he is credited with successfully synthesizing jangle pop and American rockabilly to create a new sound for Morrissey that helped to revitalize his career.

From 1991 through 2021, Boorer worked not only as one of Morrissey's co-writers and guitarists but also as the band's musical director.

1993

He was in Ant's full time band in 1993-1994 for the Persuasion tour and the recording of the Wonderful album before being replaced by Kris Dollimore in 1995 due to Boorer's commitments with Morrissey.

1994

In 1994, Boorer produced for the first time a record for Morrissey: it was for the single "Interlude", a duet between Morrissey and Siouxsie, a one-off released under the banners of both artists.

Boorer notably directed the strings section.

After 30 years with Morrissey, Boorer is not currently part of Morrissey's live band, and was not announced as a contributing musician to Morrissey's upcoming studio album Without Music the World Dies.

No announcement has been made as to whether Boorer's absence from Morrissey's band is a temporary hiatus, or if Boorer has left permanently.

Boorer has released solo material between his recording and touring.

2001

Raucous Records released a compilation album of Boz Boorer's work titled Between The Polecats in early 2001.

2009

In 2009, Boorer produced the debut EP by Tiguana Bibles, Child of the Moon.

He and his wife own a studio in Portugal, Serra Vista Studio.

2011

In 2011, Happy Martyr was formed with rapper Alex Lusty.

The plan was to record some acoustic, stripped-down hip-hop, which Boorer described as "an MC fronting early Tyrannosaurus Rex".

In August 2012, Boorer released his fourth solo album, Some of the Parts, and the single "Slippery Forces" on Fabrique Records.
