Motown Day Party

A Motown-themed afternoon party at Arts Club Liverpool, built around soul, funk and disco records from the Motown era, with the music of the label's best-known artists at its centre.

The Motown Day Party is an afternoon event celebrating the golden era of Motown, the label whose music came out of Detroit. The programme centres on the label's biggest hits, and the selection is played as DJ sets, so the records featured are recordings by the artists who made them rather than live performances. Among the names it draws on are Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, The Supremes and Marvin Gaye.

Alongside the Motown classics, the afternoon mixes in funk, disco and feel-good soul, with the emphasis on dancing from start to finish. The event is presented with a retro soul look, with vintage styling and an atmosphere built around rhythm and good times, and guests are encouraged to sing along as well as dance.

The party is aimed at soul fans and anyone who enjoys dance music from the Motown years. Arts Club Liverpool is a concert and performance venue, and it hosts this daytime celebration of the label's repertoire.
