MARCUS COLLINS SHOWCASED HIS LATEST VENTURE, LOVE MOTOWN, FOR RADIO CITY’S CASH FOR KIDS AT THE HILTON HOTEL.

Liverpool born singing sensation Marcus Collins has come a long way since coming runner-up to Little Mix in the 8th series of the X Factor in 2011.   As well as his recording and writing talents Marcus has also tread the boards in acclaimed hit musicals ‘Hairspray’ and ‘Kinky Boots’.   On Friday evening Marcus added another string to his bow when he  showcased his latest venture the ‘LOVE MOTOWN’  experience at the Hilton Hotel Liverpool city centre in aid of Radio City’s charity, Cash for Kids.

‘Love Motown’ is a live music experience featuring an incredibly talented cast of musicians and vocalists. The Love Motown collective have been working together since 2007 and the music is carefully selected to showcase talent, and uplift and engage the audience.  The set takes you through the biggest Motown hits in history performed by a fantastic 8 piece band and some of the finest vocalists the UK has to offer.

‘Love Motown’ proved to be an absolute winner with the sell-out crowd at the latest high profile fundraising event organised by Carolyn Hughes PR  in association with Marcus Collins and Radio City’s Cash for Kids.   The event was supported by entrepreneur and Cheshire Housewives star Dawn Ward and husband Ashley, hair stylists to the stars Royston Blythe and Nick Malenko and hosted by Radio City 2’s Simon Ross.

Marcus Collins said “Last night was one of the benchmarks of my career.  Performing in Liverpool is always a pleasure, but the energy and atmosphere at ‘LOVE MOTOWN’ at the Hilton Hotel was something very special.  It felt like family!  Liverpool did not let me down the audience were so warm and inviting and LOVED THE SHOW.  I am proud to come from such a wonderful and diverse city”

Carole Clare, Fundraising Manager for Radio City’s Cash for Kids said “We are enormously grateful to Marcus for his enthusiastic support and for putting on such a truly fantastic show.  His talent and attention to detail have enabled us to raise in excess of £13,000 for Cash for Kids.  I am grateful to Carolyn Hughes PR for her continued support, to Barclays and to everyone who ensured that the evening was a memorable one”
