A superbly talented cast bring the hits of the Four Tops, Stevie Wonder and many others to Music and Dance in the Park this summer.
Upton Court Park will host one of its largest ever public events in Slough as Music and Dance in the Park welcomes Magic of Motown as well as mega star Jools Holland and his 18 piece Rhythm and Blues Orchestra.
Music and Dance in the Park, organised by Slough Borough Council, will see Jools Holland joined by special guests Marc Almond, Ruby Turner and Louise Marshall, after an array of local and international acts, including the Magic of Motown.
Music and Dance in the Park follows the highly successful Dance in the Square events from previous years, due to the town square’s revitalisation work.
