GET ready for a party when Dancing in the Streets, the acclaimed celebration of the greatest Motown hits, is at the King's Theatre in Glasgow from Monday, February 15 to Saturday, February 20.
The show has had two years of standing ovations in the West End and the Milngavie and Bearsden Herald has a pair of tickets to give away to see it on Tuesday, February 23 at 7.30pm.

More than 40 years after Diana Ross and the Supremes, Martha and
the Vandellas, Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson & the Miracles first arrived in the UK in the spring of 1965 with the Tamla Motown Revue Tour, 'Dancing in the Streets' recreates what it was like to be there and to experience the energy, style and music of the greatest stars of the Motown stable.

Motown was a prominent force in breaking down barriers around the world and, equally as important, was responsible for producing some of the most influential and enduring songs of the 20th century.

In the early 1960s, in a town called Detroit, local kids were looking for a form of expression they could call their own.

They found it at the Motown Hitsville studio. In 1959, Berry Gordy, a successful songwriter with his first big hit — Reet Petite with Detroit-born Jackie Wilson — under his belt, decided to form his own record company and so, in a timber frame bungalow at 2648 West Grand Boulevard, Detroit, Tamla Motown Records was born.

During the years that followed, black soul music started to reach a white audience and the rest is history.

Dancing in the Streets will take you through the Motown repertoire, with classic hits including, I Heard It Through The Grapevine, Baby Love, My Girl, Dancing in the Streets, and many, many more.

For your chance to win tickets, make sure you get a copy of this week's Milngavie and Bearsden Herald, which is in shops now.
