Adam Patrick Devlin (born Adam Tadek Gorecki; 17 September 1969) is an English musician, best known as the guitarist and songwriter for The Bluetones.

Career

The Bluetones' lead singer and frontman, Mark Morriss, stated in an interview that he met Devlin when moving into a shared house while he was in another local Hounslow group at the time. Since Morriss and his brother, Scott Morriss, disbanded their former group, The Bottlegarden, they persuaded Devlin to leave his current group to join them, which he agreed to.

Following the Bluetones' split in 2011, Devlin formed Thee Cee Cees with singer-songwriter Chris T-T. The band released their debut album Solution Songs in 2015.

In 2015, the Bluetones reformed for a tour of the UK, celebrating the 20th anniversary of their 1996 debut album, Expecting to Fly.

Since 2023, Devlin started performing acoustic gigs around the UK with Morriss outside of band tours.

Personal life

On 29 March 2016, Devlin's brother Simon Gorecki was murdered along with his partner Natasha Sadler-Ellis at their home in Canterbury by her ex-boyfriend. Following their deaths, they appeared in series 2 of Channel 5's A Killer Makes a Call. Devlin told KentOnline "I'm of course curious to see the documentary and I'll absolutely watch it as it will be hard not to."
