Timeline
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.
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.
Three years after forming, the band signed to the fledgling British rockabilly label Nervous Records, and released the single "Rockabilly Guy" in 1979.
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".
Boorer has been married to Lyn since 1981, and they have two daughters: Pearl-May and Billie-Rose.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Raucous Records released a compilation album of Boz Boorer's work titled Between The Polecats in early 2001.
In 2008, he released the album Miss Pearl.
Besides having a solo career, writing and playing for Morrissey and touring occasionally with the Polecats, Boorer has worked with other artists, including Adam Ant, Kirsty MacColl, Joan Armatrading, Jools Holland, and Edwyn Collins.
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.
In summer 2010, Boorer recorded, produced and mixed Portuguese garage/blues/rock band Murdering Tripping Blues' second album, Share the Fire.
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".
The albums One Square Mile and Nothing Like Love were released in 2012 and 2014 respectively.
In August 2012, Boorer released his fourth solo album, Some of the Parts, and the single "Slippery Forces" on Fabrique Records.
The song "Saunders Ferry Lane" features the vocals of James Maker.
"Sunday Morning Coming Down" is a cover of the Kris Kristofferson song.
John Moore of Black Box Recorder and the Jesus and Mary Chain appears as a special guest on diverse instruments.
In June 2014, Boorer teamed up with Art Brut singer Eddie Argos for a new solo single, "Girl from Atlanta", which was included on his solo album Age of Boom in 2016 for Fabrique Records.
The band tours when time permits, and the most recent gig was at The Hot Rod Hayride in Bisley, Surrey, UK, on 30 July 2016.
