We chose Sham Radio from the Encore website & we were not disappointed. They are a talented duo who have a varied playlist. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed their set & danced the night away. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Brilliant duo, been and seen them twice many times I have lost count, wherever they go they deffo “GET THE PARTY STARTED” Shaun is a natural entertainer and works the crowd, Sam is out of this world on the drums. If you want a good night out and I will guarantee you will be dancing. There that good me and my fiancé have booked them for our wedding reception this year!!!!

Originality a rare form nowadays, but done effortlessly.You never know what they gonna pull out the bag, but you know it delivers... where do I get my t -shirt from?

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Our audience interaction and engagement. Shaun is a great performer and will have you up on your feet straight away.

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

Shaun is an integral part of Sham Radio. He plays a number of instruments as well as being our superstar front man. We simply would not be able to give it 100% without him!

Do you have different line-up options?

Our line up is as follows: Shaun - Lead Vocals, Guitar, Piano & Programming Sam - Live Drums & Backing Vocals

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always aim to be flexible so any changes that may need to be made, just contact us to discuss in the run up to the event

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

We can provide playlist music or offer a full DJ set add on at an extra cost.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up 1.5-2 hours before the event. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide playlist service to help set the atmosphere before our performance.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

We always try to play to our audience but are always happy to discuss which songs you would like to include and exclude from our Repetoire

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Yes, we provide all instrumentation, PA system and fully programmed lightshow.
