SHAKATAK

... the UK’s coolest band – THEIR GREATEST HITS AND COOL TRACKS SHOW.

Shakatak’s unique fusion of jazz-funk and pop made them one of the most influential bands of the 80s. From dancefloors to airwaves, their music became a soundtrack to the decade, with hits like “Down On The Street”, “Night Birds”, “Dark Is The Night” and “Easier Said Than Done” still instantly recognizable today. Despite over four decades in the spotlight, Shakatak’s sound remains as fresh as ever, thanks to their signature blend of smooth vocals, tight rhythms and soulful keyboard melodies. Their live shows are a masterclass in musicianship, overflowing with the same effervescent energy that first brought them fame.

“This music still glows as brightly as that first hearing… Shakatak aren’t just a band, they were the soundtrack to our lives.” RONNIE SCOTT’S House Magazine (UK)

Throughout their long career Shakatak have released over 50 CDs plus several DVDs and most of the band’s extensive back catalogue is available world-wide on Spotify and the usual outlets. For live performances the band consists of original members Bill Sharpe (keys), Jill Saward (lead voc, perc & flt), Roger Odell (drs), George Anderson (bs gtr) and Keith Winter (gtr) augmented with Jacqui Hicks (bvs & sax) or Debby Bracknell (bvs & flt) producing a musically dynamic and entertaining show from the 6 piece line-up.
