As the torrent of rain known as the Scottish summer flows past we break out the musical titans to cheers us up in our funk and soul special.
With smiles as wide as the Clyde, we get some dad dancing on the go as we move from one classic hit to another whilst showcasing our vast knowledge of release dates (1974). This Motown fest is one not to be missed with Martha, Stevie, Aretha (pissed), Dusty, Marvin, Smokey, Michael and of course Hue and Cry.
