About

The Shoeshine Boys take great songs and give them a makeover!

Your guests will be blown away by the creativity and style of the band. Imagine hearing 'Livin' On A Prayer' or 'Happy' - done with a vintage style that gets the foot tapping.

The musicians really are top class too. The band is made up of session musicians that annually tour with The Four Tops, The Temptations, Tavares, Freda Payne, The Platters, Martha Reeves and The Three Degrees to name but a few. For older guests or fans of the original jazz hits, they also have a huge repertoire of older jazz and swing standards if required.

The band is totally flexible and can be hired from a background music duo up to a full-blown show with singers and dancers.

As well seasoned session musicians, the band can also provide a set of standard party dancefloor material later on in the evening if required.

The band were amazing! The crowd loved them and commented on how brilliant they were. We spoke to them prior to the wedding to discuss their sets and they arrived early to make sure everything was in place. Couldn't have asked for a better evening!
