Sweet Soul Music

Shakedown Soul Band

Amazingly popular 8 piece soul, funk and party band putting the soul back into the party! Fabulous vocals, interactive and fun!

Great lead vocals, stunning horns and a brilliant rhythm section which adds up to a superb party night.

The band are not just excellent musicians but the interplay and fun on the stage transmits to the audience to create an instant party atmosphere!

One of our most highly booked and sought after bands with the amazing vocals and great personality of Errol Williams.

The band (which includes a superb 3-5 piece Brass section) plays either 2 x 45 minute sets / 2 x one hour sets or could possibly even split that to 3 x 40 minute sets, playing not just classic soul from Sam and Dave, Otis, Wilson Pickett and James Brown, but great 70's classics and more.

A Funky Fun Get Down on It Fabulous bunch of Soul Brothers who will make you really Shake it Down!

The band also have ipod facilities to play disco music inbetween their sets if you are not looking to have a separate DJ.

And then there's Steve (guitar), Moz (bass), Colin (organ) and Wayne (drums), the tightest, meanest rhythm machine working out of the West Midlands conurbation! From the strutting groove of Mustang Sally, through to the ghetto fabulous funk of Cold Sweat, these guys nail it down every time!

A big soul band providing the biggest soul sound around! If you're looking for the ultimate in good time, all-singing, all-dancing, non-stop entertainment and party music, then remember: shake it down with Shakedown!

We recommend booking a DJ to fill in the before, during and after with Shakedown to complement the band's set. All our DJs have worked with Shakedown on many occasions and work with the band and liaise with the clients to complete a superb nights entertainment.

Testimonials:

Dear Nicky and everyone at Classique

The String Quartet and The Shakedown Soul Band were superb on Saturday 4th. The feedback I have received from those who attended the ball said the band were brilliant, in fact people have been raving about them since. Even our site director was spotted grooving on down, really enjoying himself and getting everyone else up to dance!  I would be grateful if you pass on my thanks to the band together with these comments.

Could you also thank the String Quartet too, everyone thought this was a very nice touch.

Thanks to you Nicky for organising the event and sorting out the bands. Thanks again

Dear Nicky, Mac and all at Classique 

Just a short note to thank you and your team for the wonderful entertainment provided at our wedding.  Everyone commented on how excellent ‘Shakedown' were.

If we failed to thank them all on the day it was because we were so busy!

Please pass on our thanks to them all.

Dear Classique

A short note to ask you to pass on our thanks to Errol and the rest of ‘Shakedown' and to Phil Gardner for their combined great work on Saturday at Nikki's wedding.

The music was wonderful and certainly contributed to a great party atmosphere.

We all had a fantastic time, dancing until the wee small hours.

So thank you all very much for the part you played in what turned out to be a fairy tale day.

With Kind Regards
