M People founder says band is ‘livid’ Moving On Up was used by Liz Truss at Tory party conference. The popular tune, which was released by the Manchester-based band in 1993, peaked at number two on the UK singles chart.
Unrelated but I saw Heather Small do a festival set a few months ago. It was one of the highlights of the weekend, and I’m not a big fan of M People but their tracks can be very uplifting following 2 years of a pandemic.
