What an honour to have some of the remaining artists form Motown appearing live for us right here in sunny Perth, Western Australia in February. Fantastic lineup will include the Four Tops, Temptations, Mary Wilson, Marth Reeves and the Vandellas plus the Miracles along with the great Joan Osborne ( she's in the film, standing in the shadows of Motown ) and our very own Ian Moss and Jimmy Barnes who has just done a cover of the Jackie Wilson hit, Higher and Higher ( sounds great too and would'nt go amiss at any soul night ). While we respect the fact that there are very few of the original artists left, at least there will be a handfull of them to ogle over. This really is a very special event for us and follows the visit from Al Green later this month and the awesome performance by Betty Harris last year at the Flybynight Club, the venue for South West Soul. If your planning a holiday here then get onto the website and book your tickets ( google Motown event Perth )
Did'nt want to put this in the events thread cos it's a bit of soul history in the making, not an advert for the event. You all stay warm and soulful. Happy new year everyone. Tony T Bone. OZ. Spreading The Faith Down Under.
