About Jonathan

Verified profile

I began gigging at an early age and put my first band together at Secondary School, coincidentally we were also a 3 piece playing mod classics (the jam, the who etc),..I've come full circle having joined another 3 piece in Victoria Shakes last year. It's comfortable territory for me and I love singing, playing and entertaining a crowd. We've been lucky to gig all over the North West where I'm from and Yorkshire where I now live. We're proud of our record of having people dancing every gig and love what we do.

thanks to Victoria Shakes for cranking the cool factor to 11 at my wedding...great set with some top tunes and everybody wanted more at the end and they kindly obliged with a Beatles classic sing a long...if you wanting a band at the top of their game, Victoria Shakes have got to the top choice
