The aim was to recreate those fantastic grooves that have made that music so enduringly popular. Even if you don't dance, no-one can resist responding to Motown's unique beat.</div> <bR> <div> Even so, no-one seemed to be focusing on Motown at the time and The Tamla Tigers provided a really high quality solution. Every one of the band's members has international experience that now accounts for its current performances which are of unsurpassed quality.</div> <bR> <div> The repertoire has expanded and now embraces a number of ever popular Soul and Blues and even a couple of Beatles numbers. If you like Tamla Motown and Soul, you'll have such a great time with The Tamla Tigers.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0b1301a0.jpg" border=0 width="560" height="282" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> In relaxed mood, The Tamla Tigers before they prepare for yet another great performance.</div> <bR> <div> Left to right: Martin Dunsford, Graham Gumm, Goff Matthews, Pat Martin, Mike Paice, Sarah Geary, Alan Townsend and John Sandford,  </div> <bR> <div> Above are eight of the nine members who form The Tamla Tigers' eight member line-up. You can read their biographies here, plus Paul Wardell's too. They represent an exceptional wealth of talent.
