Doors 2pm, music 3pm
IJ&B are absolutely delighted to welcome the legendary Shakatak back for our Christmas special.
It’s rare for a group formed some 45 years ago to still be sporting its original line-up but that’s very much the case with Shakatak.
With guitarist Keith Winter well and truly now back in the fold, the extraordinary story continues. Singer and percussionist Jill Saward, keyboardist Bill Sharpe, drummer Roger Odell and bassist George Anderson are also joined by saxophonist and singer Jacqui Hicks.
For all the hits and much, much more, including a festive ditty or two, get down to Ipswich’s home of all the ingredients that make Shakatak so special - jazz, soul and funk.
We’ll also be having our bumper Christmas raffle giving you the chance to start the festive season in style by winning a food and drink hamper.
