The Belle Motions were a fine pop blast, strongly melodic
and guitar led. They didn't make much of an impact locally
but I remember enjoying the chiming guitar tones and melodies
of this band. The band played with guitars handmade by
Scott, and Wilson played an eight stringed Hagstrum, which
featured a higher octave string next to each of the normal
strings.
Ollie Scott is a world authority on Buster Keaton and has
written a definitive book on him.
"Living" is the only track that the band released and is
an anti killing animals song.
