Mike and Annette, Private House Warming Party
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!

Kelvin, Wedding
I just wanted you to know that the Moonshakers were absolutely excellent for our wedding. The guys were consummate professionals, excellent musicians and flexible in dealing with us on the day. I really can't recommend them enough and every single guest has mentioned just how impressed they were. Please pass on our thanks and how happy we are.

Katie Bourne, Kerrang Radio, Cannock
Thank you for a great gig, It was great to meet you all. We all thought you were great and I have recommended you to all my colleagues.

Mike Harris, Wedding
I recently booked The Moonshakers for our wedding, as my wife and I had seen them play previously at the Royal Hotel in Sutton Coldfield and thought they’d be ideal for our evening function. 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. From speaking to the guys in the band it is quite apparent that they are dedicated and very professional. If you want a band to get a crowd going then the Moonshakers are that band! What can I say The Moonshakers delivered! 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. It was fantastic to see a really good talented band play in such a small venue. 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 looking for a hard working function band to entertain their guests at a wedding or function! Thank you very much guys for making our special day that little bit more special, you’ve given us some fantastic memories. Well done guys, we look forward to seeing you play again soon, all the best!

Jo Davis, Cricket Club Presentation

Ryan Holford Wyss, Clavstock Music Festival
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 Stereophonics. 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 festivals and future Clavstocks to come!
