kirkt Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Can't believe no-one has posted anything bout this already. For those that don't know already, Motion was drummer in Allergo. He tragically drowned in the River Tay on Sunday. Only met him a few times but he was a fuckin top guy. The Scottish HC scene will miss him.

Baz Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 absolutely devastated when i found out. he was such a motivator for all things music. especially the local scene. he will be missed greatley but never forgotten. i`ll always remember his enthuisiam, singing along with everything.a floral tribute on moncrief island, near the bridge where he fell, in Perth has begun for anyone wishing to leave something in his memory. all my wishes go to his family and closest friends. R.I.P. Motion: great guy, awesome drummer, tragic loss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartmaxwell Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 This was made by his brother graham. p.s. his brothers name is stuartlike teabags, not my place to say anything earlier but...great guy, horrific tragedy. gigs (and i mean every gig EVER as he seemed to always be there) will not be the same without him and his massive cheesy grin, his bopping head or pyramyd building. met him a good lot of times and would always chat away even though we hardly knew eachother. he was a very popular guy in the scene and out of it, and a LOT of people will be affected by thisit must be a horrible time for his family, girlfriend, bandmates, closest friends etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
