SOUL boys and girls are looking forward to getting on down to The Magic of Motown, when it brings its brand new 2014 Reach Out tour to the Lighthouse Poole on Saturday.
In 1964 Motown crossed the Atlantic to become a musical phenomenon on these shores.
The label’s touring concert show, the Motown Revue starring Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, the Temptations, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, (Little) Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross and the Supremes, paved the way for Motown’s chart-storming success in the UK.
That year the UK singles charts were peppered with Motown songs. To mark the occasion, The Magic of Motown brings an all new production for 2014 to the stage, reviving all-time favourites like Stop in the Name of Love, Dancing in the Street, My Guy, Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, This Old Heart of Mine, I Heard it Through the Grapevine, Endless Love, All Night Long, Heatwave, I’m Coming Out, Why Do Fools Fall in Love, Get Ready, Ain’t Too Proud to Beg; My Girl, I Want You Back, I’ll Be There, Uptight (Everything’s Alright), How Sweet It Is and of course Baby Love.
The show starts at 7.30pm and tickets cost £23, £20, £18 or £16. There is a discount for students, under-18s, seniors, groups and ATL. Call 0844 406 8666 or go to lighthousepoole.co.uk
