The Motowners FEEDBACK/TESTIMONIALS


All very positive feedback what a fantastic band they were absolutely brilliant and had everyone up on the dance floor in no time. The staff loved the music and thoroughly enjoyed themselves boogying the night away. Only negative was when the band came to finish the time seemed to go all too soon L. We will have no hesitation in booking you again for any forthcoming major events that require a band and I will be recommending to our other offices.

This summer we took the Ferry, Pont Aven From Plymouth to Santander and returned Santander to Portsmouth. On both routes we took the opportunity to watch some of the on board entertainment....enjoyed seeing the Illusionist who had a facinating set. But wanted to write to say we thought the Mowtowners were brilliant. Very talented musicians with a very tight set, great to listen to recommend them for future sailings
- Helen Jousselin - Guest on the Pont Aven

- Hamish Balfour Exeter University Summer Ball, Exeter


Many thanks to The Motowners for creating a wonderful evening on the occasion of my daughters 18th Birthday Party. It was a superb performance in every respect, the sound was pure Motown magic and the great choice of songs appealed to all the age groups. Everybody we talked to said what a great band you were and that the whole performance was very slick and well rehearsed. You have a terrific voice Kelly and together as a band you were brilliant in recreating the authentic Motown sound. I was also very pleased with the bands professionalism. Top marks from start to finish, and would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone else. I hope we soon get the chance to hear you again in the future. Lizzie really enjoyed the evening, thanks for your help, good luck in the future. Thanks again, Arthur, Rona and Lizzie

"Bibis Italianissimo in Leeds prides itself on providing some of the very best Tribute Bands in the UK and without doubt - The Motowners can proudly say that they fit the bill. Their recent performance in May was quite simply "electric", packing the dancefloors with enthusiastic diners and raising the roof with an endless repertoire of some of the most memorable Motown and modern hits around"
- Mandy Barwick Bibis Italianissimo, Leeds


"I have had not a single bad comment about the Motowners and a very large number of good ones. No one can remember the dance floor filling so early and staying full until the very last note. They were fantastic and contributed massively to what was a very successful evening. I would very heartily recommend them. Thank you"
- David - Teachers Annual Ball, Manchester

Now I need to find an excuse to throw another party and book you again. All my friends and family have commented on how much they enjoyed themselves and how the band was outstanding thoroughly enjoyed by everyone I cant wait to do it all again!! Thank you.
- Len 60th Birthday Party, PGL, Caythorpe

Another outstanding show!! I personally think that was your best yet!! Very strong, powerful and loads of passion and soul!! Yet again, a pleasure to work with you all. I only wish a few of the other acts were half as professional!!
- Geoff Brine DJ Infernos, Grantham

Just a little note to say thank you to kelly and all the team at PX Productions for helping to make our wedding such a memorable occasion The Motowners and J'amy Winehouse was fantastic and exceeded all of our expectations. The guests absolutely loved them. Thanks again.
- Dean & Elle Remblance Wedding, Skegness
Incredible, Fabulous & Professional are but a few words to describe the completely Unmissable and Immaculate Motowners! Immense stage presence with a set which fully encapsulates all the classic and much loved Motown hits, a true stage spectacular with hair styles, musicianship, dance moves and the superb voices which really take you back to the Motown era with a bang! Not only is the show phenomenal but as a festival organiser, I can highly recommend working with Kelly and PX Productions which bring you the Motowners. Working with professionalism, energy and enthusiasm makes running a Music Festival enjoyable and worthwhile...and you couldnt wish for more when working with these guys! There is also a huge Thank You to PX Productions for putting on such a fantastic show for Charity!
- Mrs Kelle Nixey Chalgrove Live Music Festival, in aid of Oxfordshire Crossroads

Thank you so very much for performing at our Wedding. The Show was enjoyed by all! Thank you for helping us to celebrate our special day. With love
- Mr & Mrs Banfield Wedding Reception, Melton Mowbray


The best band we have had here by far, I hope we can arrange another night soon
- Owner, Paul

Amazing set, classic Motown, you look great, sound great, really great band
- Steven Hare, Ashby Mill Rd Club, Fund Raising Night, Scunthorpe


Wow, you guys are awesome, absolutely loved it! Vocals top notch, great sound, its all so tight and professional, cant wait to see the show again
- Joanne Wreake, The Late Lounge, Lincs

Fantastic show, unique, you have got something very special, you deserve to do really, really well with it
- Declan, Manager, Infernos (Live Tribute Venue)

I have seen many acts over the years and this one has to be the best yet. Every song was obviously well rehearsed and sounded as realistic as the original ones, something not every covers group achieves to this standard. The light show was also very impressive and added to an amazing finish to the overall experience. The singer also had an excellent relationship with the audience and after no time at all the place was buzzing. I will certainly look forward to seeing them again when I can.
- Andy Foster, Manager Morrisons
