Motown stalwarts head for South Yorkshire

DANCE floor divas are coming to Doncaster next month as part of the 50th anniversary of  Motown.

Doncaster Dome has been chosen as the only venue outside of London to host some of Motown's best known divas for a one-off concert Divas of Motown.

Supported by The Jack Ashford's Funk Brothers a line up of Motown's female greats will deliver an authentic performance of the very best in Motown music.

The three-hour show, from 7pm on November 12, will feature Mable John, Motown's first ever female recording artist along with award winner Brenda Holloway and Soul star, Chris Clark, each with their very own claim to Motown fame.

Also in the line-up will be two former members of the Supremes, Scherrie Payne and Lynda Laurence, who will perform a range of Motown hits, including the classic Stop In The Name Of Love.

The evening will form part of the year-long celebration of the Motown label.

A spokesman for the event said: "This milestone represents a unique opportunity to enjoy an evening of the ever popular Motown sound."

Tickets range from £19.50 to £24 and can be purchased on 01302 370777 or on-line at www.the-dome.co.uk/events
