Motown at the BBC and Motown Invasion Rerun

Fantastic! The 1960s personified in one photo - a wig and a bleach.

Watch it last nignt couldn`t believe that only a few went to see them live when they first came to Britian.

Re "the Ghost Tour" : Didn't Dave Godin say that he tried to dissuade Berry Gordy from going ahead because it was too early/time wasn't right?.

couple of my mates from wrexham went to see them in chester, the place only had about 100 in, they let everyone sit at the front,

mind you it was on a wednesday evening, things were a lot different back then, not many people had cars and buses finished early,

last orders were 10.30. anyway they said it was a fantastic night i missed as they keep saying, they weren't such big stars back then more singing and less showbiz.

Hey Joe,

I'm working on a show called When Motown Came To Britain for the BBC and we're looking for people who attended the tour back in 65. Would you be able to put me in contact with your friends who attended the revue for a chat about their experience? 

Thanks,

Kariim
