Neil Peart RIP
I NEVER MET YOU.
SO YOU HAVE NEVER LEFT ME.
AND YOU NEVER WILL.
Moving Pictures - they're really really good. I give them a double Redick thumbs-up.
— Darren Redick - Planet Rock Radio.
On seeing the Moving Pictures video for their arrangement of Afterimage Alex Lifeson wrote - Very moving and beautifully done. Heartfelt thanks to the band for their kind tribute.
To emulate 3 of the highest musical calibre artists, with such gusto, was seriously impressive.
First time but won’t be the last, great show and fantastic musicianship!
My Villa has never been so brilliantly strangled.
Moving Pictures play for over two hours covering all the classics such as Tom Sawyer, The Spirit of Radio and Xanadu (with doubleneck guitars) plus some deeper cuts such as By Tor and later belters such as Far Cry and Headlong Flight.
- Featuring drummer Jamie Dunleavey — this young lady from St Andrews is scarily on point.
- It takes a unique set of skills to sing AND play bass AND play keys like Geddy Lee — John Power is incredibly accurate.
- Guitarist Steve Brown is a lifelong Rush fan and pro player with way too many guitars and wicked sense of humour — not unlike Mr Lifeson!
Moving Pictures are regularly on the bill at Rush fan conventions, have recordings on all 3 Songs For Neil albums and have performed for and recorded with Rush producer Terry Brown.

What a start to the year - Aberdeen always does us proud and this year they excelled - Lemon Tree SOLD OUT - thank you! We're now booked to return in January 2024 for THREE SHOWS in a row - two evenings and a special Anatomy of a Rush song
matinee! Check out the GIGS page for links.
Our gigs in Dundee and Glasgow at the start of February blew us away again - another cracking couple of venues - converted churches seem to make for amazing rock gigs. Does this sound familiar - the Coff Inn??
SOLD OUT London and Swindon gigs at the end of February were incredible. Darren Redick from Planet Rock radio has been a great supporter of ours and we had the pleasure of him joining us on stage for FAR CRY - he's a mean mean bass player! Leoni Jane Kennedy was our support on those gigs and made this hilarious VLOG.
THIS NEXT NEWS IS SURREAL - We've been invited by Neil Peart's family (sister Nancy) to play in the Neil Peart Pavilion in LAKESIDE PARK, CANADA! Watch this space for details. We don't want to mention the date until we have everything in place. We're still pinching ourselves. Thank you Nancy.
Steve was honoured beyond belief to toast Neil Peart at the Memorial / Celebration concert A Night For Neil
in St. Catharine's, Canada on 22 October 2022.
He was joined on stage by Neil's sister Nancy, brother Danny, Starman Bob King and organisers Lance Kasten and Paul Beaulieu.
