THE TEAM featuring ANGELO STARR and special guest LORRAINE SILVER

The show that has been taking theatres by storm is coming to the Floral this July as the amazing Edwin Starr Band  - The Team - and Angelo Starr, take you through all the Northern Soul, Motown and Soul classics such as:

STOP HER ON SIGHT : LONG AFTER TONIGHT IS ALL OVER : WAR : BACKSTREETS : TIME : AGENT 00 SOUL : I HAVE FAITH IN YOU : 25 MILES : CONTACT : HAPPY RADIO : HIGHER & HIGHER : STAND BY ME : DANCING IN THE STREET : I’LL BE AROUND : MY GIRL : SUPERSTITION : LOST SUMMER LOVE: LANDSLIDE

The late great Edwin Starr’s brother Angelo Starr is the original musical director of The Team. He has now taken over lead vocals performing all the fantastic Edwin Starr classics, plus dynamic performances of some great Motown & Soul covers.

Edwin Starr’s original 8 piece band The Team, who backed Edwin on all his shows are still intact, with sax, keyboard, lead guitar, bass guitar, drums, percussion & female backing vocalist. Lorraine Silver is a Northern Soul Legend. She made a record ‘Lost Summer Love’ when she was only 13 in the mid ’60s. This song became iconic at the legendary Wigan Casino in the ’70s without her knowing anything about it until 1988.  It is still a massive record on the Northern Soul & Scooter scene and is featured on numerous compilations.
