SHAKATAK
Eyes Of The World-Tour 2024
"Down On The Street", "Mr. Manic & Sister Cool", "Night Birds" & Co. live in April 2024!
Shakatak invite with new album "Eyes Of The World" and their hits to concerts in lounge sound between soft-pop, -jazz and -funk
Two years after their successful tour to the 40th band anniversary, which was celebrated late because of the COVID pandemic, Shakatak will be back in Germany. In the program the British pop-jazz-funk-formation has samples of a new studio album. On "Eyes Of The World" (Secret Records Limited/ Bertus) it offers a coherent song collection of its melodic, partly instrumental lounge sound. Through this their name has become known between 1981 and 1987 thanks to hits like "Easier Said Than Done", "Night Birds", "Invitations", "Dark Is The Night", "Down On The Street", "Watching You", "Mr. Manic & Sister Cool". Shakatak still consists of tone-setting pianist/keyboardist Bill Sharpe, Jill Saward (lead vocals, flute), bassist George Anderson and Roger Odell (drums).
The group, formed in 1980 and staffed live and in the studio by a backup singer and guitarists, had to cope with the sudden death of Alan Wormald in early March 2023. He had been their guitarist/vocalist since 1995. True to his motto "The show must go on", Keith Winter therefore came on board as an obvious replacement after a month-long mourning period. He is an original member, but had to take a long break due to a very rare nerve disease, but is fully recovered, fit on the six-string, knows the Shakatak songs inside out.
For the good 90-minute performances of their guest tour, the sextet can draw from a full range and show why it has been in demand internationally in concert for more than four decades.
Visitors to their shows will confirm what was read in the magazine of the world famous 'Ronnie Scott's Club': "Shakatak's music still sparkles today just as it did when you first heard it. This formation is not merely a band, their songs also provide the soundtrack to many people's lives."
