Named after one of our most favourite songs by one of our most favourite bands, The Fugitive Motel is a twenty-odd strong creative collective of photographers, illustrators, designers, budding gig/clubnight organisers, reprobates and rapscallions with its main base in Manchester and offshoots developing in London and the South East, as well as Wales and The West Country. Each and every single one of us are volunteers.
Our biggest project is our webzine, jam-packed with exciting, informed content about music and entertainment. We keep meaning to officially launch a travel section and something we are currently referring to as "original miscellany". One day...
We also put on events on a reasonably ad-hoc basis (whenever we can afford to and whenever we think people need a party). The three events we've staged so far have been resounding successes...we're taking a little break from it for now but keep your eyes peeled in the New Year - that is, if we're ready to do it again...
Each of us has a genuine creative interest which, in some cases, has a vast impact on the work that we do and the projects we pursue. We're full of enthusiasm about our interests, passions, bugbears and the things that they enjoy most about living where they do.
And we want to do much, much more... so watch this space!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who's got an idea you think might interest us, or a press release or something, then please get in touch with us via this MySpace and we'll let you know where you should send your details.

Volunteer writers and photographers with experience based in London (or thereabouts), Cardiff and Bristol - we currently have little clusters of people based there but they all have real lives too so we want to help them out!

Heroes:

The Fugitive Motel loves you. ALL of you.
