I recently booked The Moonshakers for our wedding, after chatting to the band, and explaining the set up for the evening function, they were fully co-operative, extremely friendly, approachable and able to accommodate our requests.

If you want a band to get a crowd going then the Moonshakers are that band !

The band played two 60 minutes sets either side of the buffet, comprising of a selection of pop, rock, soul, disco and funk hit songs from the 1950’s right through to the present day, which was fantastic as there was something there for everyone.

All our guests thoroughly enjoyed the bands performance and I would guess that the band enjoyed our guests’ reaction to them also.

I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone!

Thank you very much guys for making our special day that little bit more special, you’ve given us some fantastic memories.

The Moonshakers headlining at Clavstock this year brought the masses to their feet. Including in their set classics from the rock and roll era through to modern indie giants The Stereophionics.
Giving the crowd exactly what they wanted the “Shakers” left the stage with an audience yearning them to play until dawn. A first for Clavstock and almost a must for festival and future Clavstocksto come!

The Moonshakers recently played at our housewarming party in the South East of England. They were excellent. Their brilliance showed when they performed a variety of requested 60’s blues/rock numbers and made our party for us! They also played many other well-liked pop, soul and disco numbers, including the latest hits. The atmosphere was great, over 100 guests decided the Moonshakers to be the best band they had heard for a long time and it showed in the dancing!

The Moonshakers also demonstrated their musical ability and talents when two guests, one of whom who happens to be professional singer in a major West End production, performed a number of songs with the band. The outcome was fantastic but did not in any way outdo the band’s own excellent lead singer who has real presence.

We would heartily recommend the Moonshakers for just about any type of party as they have the ability to play all kinds of music to an excellent standard and they will make your party a huge success too!
