URM represents some of the finest acts on the UK roots scene
We are a non-profit promotional co-operative run by a collective of international
musicians touring extensively and releasing new acoustic roots music within the UK.
In the past decade the music industry has been turned upside down and is barely
recognisable as its former incarnation. Acts are signed and dropped on a whim as
mainstream trends are set and quickly become outmoded. Chart successes
invariably come from a will to create celebrity rather than a desire to share and
celebrate creativity. This industry has a stranglehold on the media that we once
referred to for the latest sounds.
And so a parallel music industry is born through the Internet and on the streets:
Anyone keen to take their music on the road can record, market, and distribute from
their living room. Coupled with the recent boom in live audiences, any motivated act
can go out and make a success of their art.
People don’t want to be told what’s good - They want to seek it out.
There is an unbelievable wealth of high quality music out there on the streets of the
UK. There is also a huge audience on the lookout for an alternative to the
mainstream.
UK Roots Movement provides a truly independent alternative
