The Movement UK...........Are what can only be described as a proper guitar driven Rhythm & Blues band.
They have a head strong attitude and a motivation built on delivering a new blend of power pop, indie, modrock, they are a band with direction and a focus which builds on the influences of many, many bands, ranging from the great London bands from the 60’s (the who, small faces, the kinks etc)
and infusing those influences with the greatest britpop and indie bands of the modern music era...
including the likes of the jam, roses, OCS, libertines, traffic and the faces, but this band stand head & shoulders above other bands for their blend is unique, they are a band sparked by melodies and lyrics each chord each word has a meaning....and a swagger..!

Get it sorted Marty!!!!
Top weekend this year and looking like being mega busy in 2012.
We are looking for someone to video this years Mod Rally to Ayr.
This would involve covering the scooters leaving from Glasgow and the South Side, some footage en-route to Ayr, both afternoon bands and footage from afternoon and evening events.
If anyone is interested (or can recommend anyone) please get in touch to discuss further.
Now only 4 rooms left, last chance for anyone planning on going - 01292 261162
