DOWN FOR THE COUNT – Motown Collective REPERTOIRE LIST
Please note that songs marked M can only be performed if you add a male vocalist to the line-up.
When you book our band for your event, we love it if you look through our repertoire list and pick out roughly 8 songs per set which you’d definitely like us to play.
We then work your requests around songs we know are great at getting people up and dancing – guaranteeing you a fantastic party.
Medleys
Many of our soul songs are arranged into medleys; whilst these songs can be performed separately, we suggest keeping them in the medley for maximum impact and to keep the dancefloor full all night.
