The Story of Motown Records

4 weekly sessions of 90 minutes (10:30 to 12:00): 

• Wednesday 17 July;
• Tuesday 23 July
• Wednesday 31 July
• Wednesday 7 August

Talk and presentation (with accompanying music) on the history of the Motown record label, covering the "golden period" from early 1960's to mid-1970's.

Although it is preferable that people attend every session, the sessions are stand alone, and so it is not essential to attend every one.

The four sessions are:-

1. Introduction to Motown and its founder, key points in its history and what makes the Motown sound
2. Key Motown artists
3. Key Motown songwriters
4. Backroom staff and summary

There will be a break for refreshments, Please contact the organiser if you are able to volunteer to help with preparation. Also please bring some small change to cover the cost.
