ROY WOOD'S STATEMENT RE:
"THE MOVE"




My dear friends and music lovers:

It's Roy Wood here! Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude to all of you who have followed my career so far. I just wanted to warn those of you who are not fully in the picture about a certain situation: It appears from information I have received and various websites I have looked at that Bev Bevan and his band are now touring and being billed as "THE MOVE".

I would just like to explain to you that this has nothing whatsoever to do with myself. Bev Bevan does not have my permission to perform as "THE MOVE", and I intend to oppose it at every opportunity. .... Imagine Ringo Starr going on the road as "The Beatles"? .... I'm sure he wouldn't even consider doing that for one minute. ....

It's called "respect". I feel that Bev Bevan's handling of the E.L.O. Part 2 fiasco (which resulted in the band being billed in the States as "E.L.O." much to Jeff Lynne's embarrassment and disgust) attempted to drain every last ounce of goodness out of what was left of E.L.O. Until, fortunately, it was stopped by Jeff himself.

It is obvious to me that Bev Bevan does not have any original ideas of his own, and insists on trading and cashing in on other people's hard work and talent. This is just to let you know that wherever and whenever they decide to appear as "THE MOVE" please don't expect me to be anywhere near the stage of what is basically just a "tribute" band. Thanks for listening.

Love and Best Wishes,

ROY WOOD X
