Doug Morter launched his music career in 1969, playing with Hunter Muskett, David Bowie, and went on his first major tour supporting Ralph McTell. Following, he had many gigs in UK and Europe, with major tours supporting Jethro Tull, Joan Armatrading, Elkie Brooks, Richard Thompson, Supertramp, Sutherland Brothers, Kinks, and Steeleye Span. After playing with Richard, Doug recorded and toured as part of the Maddy Prior Band, and as part of the Michael Chapman Band, and, in 1979, went on his first tour as part of the Albion Band. Doug then joined Magna Carta full time in 1980, after guesting on an earlier record. After three albums and a lot of foreign tours, Doug left in 1983 to re-join the Albion Band until 1985/6. In 1985, after releasing his first solo record, Doug started recording the first of two records with guitar virtuoso Jerry Donahue , which became the basis for The Backroom Boys, which still exists and tours whenever schedules permits. Doug is presently working with: Then Came The Wheel , his collaboration with Alan Thomson, Arran Ahmun, from John Martyn’s band, and Foster Paterson from Donnie Munro’s band, "Celtic Blues" with Jens Falck, Paul Burgess, and Alan Thomson, and a new project featuring the collaboration of some of folk's greatest legends called The Gathering .
