Morton Valence has been played on NTS shows including Country Hayride, with Black-Eyed Susan first played on 14 August 2016.

Morton Valence have existed since 1781 when Morton Valence Junior was born in Morden, England.

In his youth he became a fan of enlightenment literature and fled to London to pursue a musical career. Before long he was performing to Prime Minister Pitt, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and and array of European autocrats. This earned him a fortune, which he prudently spent on 200 years' supply of opium.

After finishing the opium, Morton stumbled across a group of travellers in an Inn called "The White Horse King and Garter". Anne had travelled from across the Irish sea; Leo was a dock-worker from Colombia; Gigi a trader's daughter from Hong Kong.

They laughed, and drank, and wrote thirty songs by closing time.

Today, one year on, they are a successful electro-pop five-piece on the brink of fame and fortune. Miraculously, none of them age.
