Martha Reeves
Martha Reeves is a true living legend with musical heritage very few artists could dream of…she and her Vandellas went from being Marvin Gaye’s original backing singers in 1963 to global success with era defining songs including “Nowhere to Run,” “Jimmy Mack,” and the signature smash hit, “Dancing In The Street.”
Determined to succeed, before she got her break in front of the microphone, she became an essential part of the Motown story as a key organiser of every aspect of the label’s operation. When people say she started at Motown as a secretary, Martha corrects them, laughing, “I was never a secretary. I was a singer who could type.” Then one day, when Mary Wells missed a session, Martha stepped up to the mic and the rest is history.
Films her voice has featured in include “Good Morning Vietnam” and “Thelma and Louise”, while artists who have covered her songs include Mick Jagger and David Bowie, the Mamas and the Papas, Dusty Springfield and the Grateful Dead. Martha Reeves and the Vandellas are listed among Rolling Stone magazine’s “100 Immortal Artists.”
Outside music, Martha continues to relish new challenges, she served on the Detroit City Council from 2005-2009 and took part in the 2019 series of Celebrity MasterChef on BBC1.

She made history as the first woman to represent Great Britain in boxing at the 2012 Olympic Games in London and became the first woman to win the prestigious British Boxer of the Year award from the British Boxing Board of Control in 2022, joining the ranks of legends such as Anthony Joshua, Ricky Hatton, Prince Naseem Hamed, and Lennox Lewis.
Natasha claimed the undisputed Light Middleweight world title in 2022 before moving down a weight to take the IBF World Welterweight title on 1 July 2023, defeating Kandi Wyatt in round eight at the AO Arena, Manchester. She retained her title at Liverpool’s Echo Arena on 20 January 2024 with a split decision win over Mikaela Mayer, before becoming a unified world champion again by defeating WBC title holder Ivana Habazin on 14 December 2024 at the Exhibition Centre, Liverpool. She was scheduled to face WBA, IBO, and The Ring female welterweight champion Laura Price at the Royal Albert Hall in March 2025, a fight she lost by unanimous decision.
Natasha’s contribution to sport and her community was recognised in 2025 when she was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for services to boxing and her work in Liverpool. A mural commemorating her achievements stands in Liverpool on Elwy Street, near her childhood home.
Originally destined for a career in professional football—her sister, Nikita Parris, is a Lioness and plays for Manchester United—Natasha shifted to boxing after a serious injury in the US.

Paul Holden
Coming from strong roots previously fronting band ‘The Talkabouts’, and having performed with The Pretenders, China Crisis, and The Bluetones, Paul Holden’s solo career took off amidst covering ‘Imagine’ at Liverpool’s M&S Arena to 10,000 people as part of ‘The Number One Project’ for charity.
Paul exceeds his reputation in the new single with a contemporary synth based sound, whilst sitting perfectly alongside his hauntingly beautiful melodies, and dulcet tones.
The mystique surrounding Paul’s musical journey has always been prevalent, due to the fact that he suffers from a rare muscle condition called ‘Nemaline Myopathy’ that has resulted in him being in a wheelchair.
Un-phased, Paul Holden returned with his spellbinding EP ‘Say It To The Sun’ which is out now.
Paul Smith
Paul Smith Jr. is a former 2 weight, 3 time British boxing champion and 3 time super-middleweight world title challenger, with most boxing experts in agreement that in the fight with Arthur Abraham the judges stole the title from him with a decision described by Eddie Hearn as ‘a disgrace’. Following his retirement in 2017 Paul continued his work as a leading big fight pundit, becoming a staple on the DAZN global streaming platform, is a licensed boxing manager with a stable of hugely exciting young fighters, is building his sports academy brand and is delving into community based property development on a grand scale.
Paul has 3 younger brothers and, in what is a unique sporting first, all 4 brothers became elite level champions. Callum and Liam were both world champions with Stephen a 2 weight British and Commonwealth champion and – like Paul – a world title challenger. This has given Paul a level of respect in his native Liverpool and across boxing which is unrivalled. He has taken part in numerous TV shows for ITV and ESPN, pre pandemic was a regular DJ alongside Camelphat’s Mike Di Scala and has also taken on some high profile roles as a TV actor.
Alongside developing the next generation of champions in Liverpool, Paul’s current projects include the development of a new concept in sports and boxing academies which is bringing together public, private and charity stakeholders into a model to re-vitalise one of the most deprived areas in Liverpool and – with other elite former sports stars – in other leading UK cities.
