Info
Shakatak brings its signature UK jazz-funk back onstage on November 18, 2026 at The Jam House in Birmingham. Formed in London in 1980, the band sits right at the crossroads of jazz-funk, fusion and smooth soul: tight grooves, bright keyboards up front, and choruses that stick without ever losing the jazz touch.
If you know “Night Birds”, “Easier Said Than Done” or “Down on the Street”, you already know the Shakatak formula: sleek production, rhythmic precision and that unmistakable blend of dancefloor energy and melodic ease. Over the decades, they’ve kept building a deep catalogue while staying true to a core line-up, with Bill Sharpe’s keys, Roger Odell’s drumming, George Anderson on bass and Jill Saward’s voice shaping the band’s sound. Expect a set that moves between classic early-80s staples and later cuts, all driven by the same smooth, urban swing.
