A festive Motown concert by candlelight with a live band and vocalists playing soul hits and seasonal material in St Albans Cathedral.
Motown Christmas By Candlelight comes to St Albans Cathedral on Friday 18 December, a festive spin on the Motown by Candlelight format. Instead of a concert hall, the show takes place in the cathedral's nave, with candlelight intended to lend the evening an intimate atmosphere.
A live band and a cast of vocalists work their way through the Motown songbook, with the set built around hits from The Supremes, The Temptations, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, The Commodores and Marvin Gaye. The seasonal twist adds a bit of Christmas sparkle to the soul classics, and the venue's bar is open to audiences throughout. It runs as a double bill, with the second sitting ticketed separately, so you can pick the time that suits you best.
