About the show

We are absolutely delighted to announce that legendary jazz-funk pioneers Shakatak will be performing live at Trading Boundaries on Saturday 29th August, kicking off our 30th Anniversary Bank Holiday weekend in serious style. Formed in the late 1970s and rising to international success throughout the 1980s, Shakatak became synonymous with smooth grooves, infectious melodies and sophisticated jazz-funk energy. With classic hits including “Night Birds”, “Down on the Street” and “Easier Said Than Done”, they helped define an era — and they remain one of the UK’s most enduring live acts. Expect tight musicianship, feel-good rhythms, unmistakable harmonies and that unmistakable Shakatak sound that has filled dancefloors and concert halls around the world for decades. There is something very special about experiencing music like this up close, in an intimate setting where every groove, every bass line and every keyboard flourish can truly be felt. Trading Boundaries provides the perfect backdrop for an evening of world-class jazz-funk — atmospheric, vibrant and personal. Make it the highlight of your Bank Holiday weekend. Gather friends, enjoy dinner and drinks, and settle in for a night of timeless music performed by one of Britain’s most iconic bands.
