Guest MBarrett Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 The Supremes exhibition which was at the Victoria & Albert museum last year is moving to Birmingham for a 3 month stint - from 21st February. Details are here: Supremes at the BM&AG Anyone who went in London - is it worth a look?? MB P.S. The other day the B'ham Mail was appealing for anyone who saw the Supremes at Birmingham Odeon in 1965 - when that first British Tamla Motown Revue hit town.

Jumpinjoan Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 It's on at the Grundy Art Gallery in Blackpool at the moment. Runs until 1st Feb. Not been though so I can't say if it's any good. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Saw this a few years ago at The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and whilst it is worth seeing I think it's fair to say that once you've counted the sequins and marvelled at the costumes there isn't that much of substance that you couldn't find out elsewhere. Nice to see it all together though, probably worth the £7.00 to see it. Incidently the R&RHOF also had some Temptations stage outfits on display.....now they were fancy.

Citizen P Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 It's FREE ADMISSION in Blackpool! Went on Sunday, Nothing you don't know, but interesting nonetheless. Not a bad way to spend an hour or so on a rainy afternoon. ATB Tony Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Goldwax Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 The V&A did a great job of building the story of Motown and Detroit around the dress collection with storyboards and memorabilia. Well worth a visit if the set up is the same in Brum. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
