The Detours
Motown and Northern Soul band/trio/duo
The Detours are a West Midlands based 4-peice band (also trio and duo) who pay tribute to Motown and Northern soul with classic hits from The Velvelettes, The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, The Ronettes, Martha & the Vandellas and Frank Wilson and many more!
The 4-piece band fronted by Motown diva Helen James really packs a punch, but also available to book as just a duo with Helen the singer and Adam lead guitarist.
Helen has been on the Motown circuit for over a decade and has opened for the likes of The Three Degrees, Boney M and The Real Thing.
The rest of the band are all fully qualified seasoned musicians so you will be in for a real treat. This is a must-see show!
