Monkey Militia

Monkey Militia loosely formed in 1999 whilst at Exeter University. Throughout the years they lost and gained so many members. In 2006, founder member James moved back to the south east and started up a new Monkey Militia – Mk.XI. Chris, who's been in the band for five years previous, had already moved to London, so was keen to keep the Militia going. Chris and Aaron had been mates from school, so seeing as he was in the same neck of the woods also, was asked to join on drums.

The Move

The Move evolved from several mid 1960s Birmingham based groups, including Carl Wayne & The Vikings, The Nightriders & The Mayfair Set. The group's name seems to refer to the move various members of these bands made to form the group. Beside Roy Wood, the original members of the Move were drummer Bev Bevan, bassist Chris "Ace" Kefford, vocalist Carl Wayne & guitarist Trevor Burton. Their first single, 'Night of Fear' was released in 1966 and was the first in a line of memorable hits penned chiefly by Roy Wood.
