Dressed in snappy suits and circular skirts, this young, high-energy 50s tribute band leap effortlessly from authentic rock n'roll to mellow prom-style ballads.
Sharing a love of all things fifties, this young London-based trio have a musical CV as long as your arm. Working individually with some of the most celebrated musicians on the UK scene, they have appeared at Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party, Edinburgh Festival and on XFM radio. As a band they have set toes-a-tapping at weddings, universitys, private parties and corporate functions.
Tailoring performances to suit your needs, The Maltshakers adapt each show to make your special night sparkle. Led by teen-dream James, a charismatic crooner whose velvety voice makes grown women cry, the band will play your choice of fifties favourites and even dedicate a song to you.
Watching The Maltshakers is a vintage visual experience too. Their costumes, instruments and equipment are all bona fide 1950s set pieces. From the dazzling hairclip in Helen’s hair to James’s crackling vintage microphone, every item onstage is infused with a little drop of fifties glamour. Thanks to their charm and charisma, the band are also great value for money, delivering the sound of a ten piece for the price of a trio. Playing two fifty-minute sets, your guests will be gasping for air as the dance floor becomes a Maltshakers marathon!
Arriving on the night ready to rock and roll, The Maltshakers provide the sound system, PA, plus an MP3 player choc full of old-time classics to keep the party swinging between sets. Literally bouncing off the walls with youthful energy, The Maltshakers make it their mission to have you slow dancing with your dollybird or jiving like its 1955.

Anthea and Giles, Wedding, London, September 2011They were absolutely fantastic!!!! We had high hopes for them but never did we imagine that they would be such a rip roaring success! They kept our guests happily dancing for hours and hours and hours… We even had to commission them to stay for a third set as the crowd wouldn’t let them leave. I would whole heartedly recommend the Maltshakers for any event where you want to see people relax, let rip, and dance the night away.

Joey, Student Event, London, July 2011Maltshakers are a great band, real party starters and crowds absolutely loved it. If you're having a 50/60’s rock n roll party then they are the best you will get. Fantastic show, we loved every minute of it.

Roger, Wedding, Sussex, April 2011Thank you for being able to supply us with the band, The Maltshakers. They were superb. Keeping in touch before the event, playing a few songs not on their playlist at our request, and providing an excellent show! Being asked all night who and where the band are from certainly puts a swing in your step. All round excellent experience! Thank you.
