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..!
Melodic Attitude

One day i will get to one of these Scottish events. But they always seem to clash with something else. Hope it all goes well folks and i'm sure it will.

 

It was great this year so I am sure it will go down well again. Here's hoping the weather is as good again.

Jeeez ! What a line up, will know better in New Year if i can make this.....

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.

Only 15 rooms still available at the Station Hotel, best book up soon if you're planning on being there - 01292 261162

Now only 4 rooms left, last chance for anyone planning on going - 01292 261162

 
Ayr Mod Rally Update:

Godd to see you're staying over this year Jim.

Plenty good B & B's / Hotels nearby mate so you'll get sorted no problem.

Just stay off the bev for the whole day Jim, and that way you can take the motor and travel the short distance home after the night time do.

Sensible advise Chris but unfortunately I don't do sensible.
