The Move

The Move were an English rock band formed in Birmingham in 1965. Their original line-up comprised lead guitarist Roy Wood, singer Carl Wayne, rhythm guitarist Trevor Burton, bassist Chris "Ace" Kefford and drummer Bev Bevan. Wood was the band leader and main songwriter, with lead vocal duties falling to Wayne, while Wood, Burton and Kefford also contributed lead and backing vocals. By 1971, the band was reduced to a trio of Wood, Bevan and guitarist/singer/songwriter Jeff Lynne, who joined in 1970. The Move scored nine top 20 UK singles in five years, but were among the most popular British bands of the 1960s and 1970s not to achieve major success in the United States.
