Ladies and gentlemen, The Actionettes are supremely excited to present a night of sophisticated entertainment in celebration of the legendary Motown record label in the suitably lush surroundings of the Luminaire.

The dapper trio of Friends of The Bride will kick off the proceedings in style. Described as a "perfectly balanced cocktail of finger-snapping, Ratpack croon and irresistible fuzz garage stomp" by Kitten Painting, they had only been in existence for a few months when they were hand-picked by a panel of Alan McGee, Chas Smash and Gary Crowley to share the stage with The Who at the BBC’s Electric Proms.

Not to be outdone on the cool front Lucky Soul are five suited-and-booted skinny guys fronted by a glamorous honey-voiced chanteuse. Their classic pop sound and shimmering harmonies already have the British press swooning in ecstasy – "Almost indecently fabulous", raved The Guardian while Metro purred "pure, unadorned loveliness".

Last but not least, the dazzling Actionettes will shake and shimmy to the catchiest numbers ever committed to vinyl by the likes of the Velvelettes, The Supremes and Martha and the Vandellas.

Later in the evening hep cats and hot mamas can take part in a dance contest: can you do the Mashed Potato? Do you know how to pony like Bony Maronie?!

Guest DJ Warren (Boogaloo Soul, 100 Club, Crossfire) and Actionette DJs spin foot-stomping soulful, garage, punk and rock 'n' roll tunes until the early hours.
