The idea is not to just play records released in a particular year but more about recreating the buzz that was around at the time, including tracks released on record in previous years but still very relevant as well as those not yet on record but a staple part of an artist's live show, b-sides & album tracks or sessions recorded for radio broadcast such as on John Peel's show.
Either way, every track I play at these anniversary events were heard in the year we celebrate and no doubt in someone's list of favourite tracks of that year.
1975 was probably the first year that saw the artists of yesteryear start to get pushed out to make way for a revolution in music and youth culture, yes it was 50 years since we the the emergence of Punk!
Not only will you hear the tracks that bands were playing live around the world, most notably London & New York, I will also be playing some of the songs from the 50s & 60s that inspired the bands and went on to be covered by, Punk, New Wave & Alternative artists.

Echoes of the Bunnymen // True Order: LEEDS
- 7.30pm - 11pm
- Brudenell Social Club - 33 Queens Road, Leeds, LS6 1NY
- If not sold out, Prices on the door will be much higher (please buy in advance).
Mutant Movement proudly presents it's first gig at Leeds' iconic Brudenell Social Club. An evening paying tribute to two of the biggest Alt 80s bands.
The Echoes of the Bunnymen show is an aural tribute to the alternative Fab Four featuring some of the best tracks from the original line up’s amazing run of albums. Played by musicians who are huge fans, authentically trying to recreate the early sound of one of the UK’s best ever indie bands.
At this present moment, the band have sold out every show to date so don't hesitate, get your tickets before they're gone! Since Will Sergeant attended one of their shows and said how 'bloody brilliant' they are, Bunnymen fans have gone and found out for themselves, I don't think I'm letting the cat out of the bag when I say these are going to be huge!
Joining them for this alternative 80s trip down memory lane will be another tribute, to the band who toured the States with them in 1987, New Order and who better than their number one tribute, True Order? Having emulated the sound and attitude of New Order to ensure a great night of classic deep cuts for over a decade, True Order return to Leeds after 7 years since one of Mutant Movement's first tribute events back in 2018.
