What people say
-
Nicholas, Corporate Event, Surrey, December 2010The Shakers Duo were perfect for the our restaurant party, pleasantly adjusting their dynamics according to response. They turned up and needed little assistance in setting up. They looked and sounded great, perfectly playing well known hits from now and before that reached out to all generations. We would definitely book The Shakers Duo again and recommend them for all corporate parties and events.

Ruth, Wedding, Somerset, February 2011I just wanted to drop a line to say thank you for helping us to organise the duo and the DJ on Saturday 5th February. They guys were amazing, and everyone that listened to them thought they were brilliant. We were both glad to have gone with them.
