In September 2006 Ian started Mr M and The All Nighters, a Northern Soul tribute band, that plays classic Northern Soul. Strongly influenced by the music of his native Wigan and the Wigan Casino Mr M and The All Nighters plays locally around Vancouver.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“This music crept by me upon the waters,
Allaying both their fury and my passion
With its sweet air; thence have I followed it,
Or it hath drawn me rather.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“From where Pan’s cavern is
Intolerable music falls.
Foul goat-head, brutal arm appear,
Belly, shoulder, bum,
Flash fishlike; nymphs and satyrs
Copulate in the foam.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Who that has heard a strain of music feared then lest he should speak extravagantly any more forever?”
