Hey, I’m Marcus — your host for Pure Motown, where every track has a groove, every lyric tells a story, and the soul never stops. I grew up in Birmingham with Motown playing in the background of my childhood, thanks to my mum’s old record player and a house full of good energy. That music shaped me. It still gives me goosebumps.
Now, I get to share those timeless classics with you. Whether it's Stevie, Diana, Smokey, or the Temptations, I’m here every week with the smoothest sounds and a little cheeky chat to lift your mood. I like to keep things laid-back and real — the kind of vibe where you're swaying in your seat or singing into a wooden spoon while cooking tea.
I’ve got a soft spot for soulful harmonies, rich melodies, and songs that make you feel something. Throw in a bit of nostalgia, a few fun facts, and my slightly dodgy dance moves (don’t worry, they’re not on camera), and that’s a proper Motown night, isn’t it?
So stick the kettle on, turn up the volume, and let’s take a little trip back to the golden era of music. You bring the biscuits, I’ll bring the soul.
Loves: Pub banter, vinyl shopping, Northern Soul nights, and singing along to Marvin Gaye in the kitchen
