About M2TG

We are a movement dedicated to the survival and prosperity of grassroots music.

Who We Are

Move to the Groove (M2TG) was born out of a passion for live music and theatre. The grassroots music ecosystem is under unprecedented threat. Independent artists are struggling to make a living, vital small venues are closing their doors every week and the mental toll on those working within the industry is reaching breaking point.

Music is a universal language. Music brings people together, improves health & wellbeing, confidence and resilience, it’s a creative outlet allowing people from all social and cultural backgrounds to express themselves and, most of all, MUSIC IS FUN!

We are a passionate collective of music lovers, industry professionals and advocates who refuse to let the scene fade away. We believe that music is fundamental to our culture and our communities. Without the grassroots, there is no top tier. We exist to champion, support and connect the independent music world.
