SHAKATAK - the UK’s coolest band - THEIR GREATEST HITS AND COOL TRACKS SHOW. "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) "A wild diversity seldom found anymore... tons of rhythmic and stylistic variety...slamming" JAZZIZ Magazine (USA) Shakatak have enjoyed a level of success and career longevity rarely paralleled in contemporary music but then Shakatak is a particularly unusual group. Because of the nature of their music their fan base is one that is far reaching while always retaining an “underground” element. This paradox sees the band, who are known primarily as serious jazz/funk musicians, enjoying both high “cult” status and instant recognition as a household name due to their numerous hit recordings. In the past 6 years the band have performed concert dates in the UK, Mexico, Germany, Holland, Azerbaijan, Russia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria and Slovakia plus club dates at the prestigious Billboard, Blue Note & Cotton Clubs in Japan. In December 2011 Shakatak headlined at the Penang Island Jazz Festival and played a concert date in Almaty, Kazakhsta...

IT + FREEDOM TO GLIDE + FORGOTTEN GODS

The Camden Club · London

IT began life as a psychedelic, multi-media group; a band with a colossal sound that shakes the bones, with a barrage of images that feeds the mind. IT’s sound fuses the classic melodies of prog rock’s past with a passion and intensity usually only found in punk or metal bands. Politics, religion, war and sexuality all come under the band’s lens for critical examination. Lyrics are intelligent, challenging and occasionally darkly humorous. The bottom line is that the IT experience will inform your thinking, feelings and memory long after the last notes have ended. 2026 sees IT releasing and promoting the remake of their 1994 debut album ‘The Stranger Inside the Self’. But as always new music is being worked away in the background and a follow up to IT’s last original studio album, ‘We’re All In This Together’, is not far off the horizon. FREEDOM TO GLIDE have built a reputation for cinematic, thought-provoking progressive music that blends powerful songwriting with atmospheric soundscapes. Across four acclaimed studio albums, the band has steadily grown an international following drawn to their emotional depth, musicianship, and independent spirit. Following years...
