The Union is a new band formed by Luke Morley, formerly the guitarist for legendary UK rock band Thunder and ex Winterville vocalist/guitarist Peter Shoulder. Luke Morley was lead guitarist, chief songwriter and producer for Thunder from the band’s inception in 1989 until their split in 2009. Their farewell UK tour was the most successful in their twenty-year history and culminated in an emotional sold out show at Hammersmith Apollo. Thunder produced nine studio albums in their twenty years despite a two year hiatus between 1999 and 2001. Previously he was a member of 1980s group Terraplane. Luke released a solo album ‘El Gringo Retro’ in in 2001 and two albums (Moving Swiftly Along’ and ‘Mo’s Barbeque’) with Thunder singer Danny Bowes under the name Bowes & Morley. Peter Shoulder was the vocalist, songwriter and musical rudder of Winterville. He is one of only three British artists (the other two being Eric Clapton and Peter Green) to win a W.C. Handy Blues Foundation award, presented in Memphis in 2006 for co-writing the American Blues Song of the Year.
