“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
"They are consummate professionals with seemingly unlimited stamina and an instinctive ability to hold an audience…they are timeless”. BUZZ Magazine
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 "Night Birds" 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 is a rare chance to see Shakatak in an intimate venue where you can truly appreciate their groove-infused brilliance up close. Whether you’re a long-time fan or discovering them for the first time, prepare for an evening of timeless music that perfectly balances cool sophistication with irresistible funk.
