Edwina Hayes numbers Michael Parkinson and Bob Harris among her fans. Her beautifully written songs, charming stage presence and voice of an angel have won her a reputation as a true natural talent of gentle folk-americana. She has opened numerous shows for Jools Holland and Van Morrison and the title track of her album Pour Me A Drink was covered by Nanci Griffith, who calls her 'the sweetest voice in England'.  Her cover of Randy Newman's Feels Like Home was featured in the Cameron Diaz film My Sister's Keeper and has since had over two million plays on You Tube.

Shakatak at The Stables

Posted: 01 May 2012 07:21 AM PDT


Friday 7 September, 8pm


Tickets £18


Shakatak have enjoyed a level of success and career longevity rarely paralleled in contemporary music, but then Shakatak are a particularly unusual group. Because of the nature of their music their fan base is one that is far reaching while always retaining an underground element. This paradox sees the band - known primarily as serious jazz/funk musicians - enjoying both high cult status and instant recognition as a household name due to their numerous hit recordings.


"This music still glows as brightly as that first hearing... Shakatak aren't just a band, they were the soundtrack to our lives" Ronnie Scott's House Magazine
