I think it would be superb if Monument could travel around a bit more and reach the widest possible audience..... they truly are amazing live! What I would say is though..... you would each and every one of you have to pledge to attend gigs if they did come near you, I would think. Obviously budget is a serious issue for these guys.... and they have on numerous occasions travelled as far as Crewe (270miles ish? and then back again) and Cheshunt (450 ish miles and back again) it's a long way to go to be met with "oh well, I can't jump on the train for an hour to come and see you but if you make it to the midlands, bla bla bla..... or "I don't fancy driving for a couple of hours to see you, but if you can make it to Wales/ London/ manchester/ newcastle.... whatever....... come on guys, if you REALLY want to see these guys, suggest some venues, give them ideas, hastle them but most importantly..... make sure you go to the gigs if they do get to a town near you!!!

Well I'd say that sounds like a brilliant idea, but it's not for me to answer....... if you send an email to info@ultravoxtribute.co.uk it emails all the members of the band at once! I'd say drop them a line and see where it leads! oohhhhh it's sooooo exciting!  LOL

Wow!!! I've just viewed these links on Youtube, and must say I'm Very, Very Impressed. If Monument can arrange anything in S.Wales or S.West England, I'll be there! I did see Ultravox a number of times in the Eighties, and this is as close as I'll ever get to repeating that experience. Not surprised the band have given you their endorsement.
