Our wonderful weekender celebrates the eclectic blend of rhythm and blues, soul, funk, gospel and pop that is Motown. Forged in ’60’s and ’70’s Detroit, the hit record-label caused a sensation, crossing cultural divides and launching superstars such as The Jackson 5, Diana Ross and The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and many more. To get us warmed up and the party started, on Friday we enjoy an evening dedicated to the best of ‘60s and Soul with our talented keyboard player and singer Chris and Gabi, members of Relative Cool. Our duo will be accompanied by our DJ who will be playing the best tracks from the swinging ’60s.On Saturday night our 5-piece band ‘Relative Cool’, featuring lead female vocals, guitar, bass, drums and keys, will perform some of Motown’s best known hits that are sure to get you singing along and up on the dance-floor.
