Southway is a live electronic duo bringing together the energy of a live band, the atmosphere of a DJ set and the excitement of a modern electronic show. Formed by Shaun and Shiun, Southway was created from a shared passion for creating unforgettable live experiences. We believe the best performances are not just about playing songs — they are about creating a connection with the audience, building energy and giving people a moment they remember long after the event has finished. Our sound blends Nu-Disco, funk, disco, pop and dance influences (from the 80s to current day) with live vocals, keys, guitar, electronic drums and live production. We take familiar tracks and transform them into a fresh, high-energy performance that feels both nostalgic and contemporary. The result is a show that appeals to a wide range of audiences, from guests who love classic disco and funk through to those looking for modern electronic party energy. Between us, we have built many years of professional performance experience across different environments and countries. We have performed internationally, including cruise contracts where we delivered multiple live sets every day for thousands of guests. These experiences developed not only our musicianship, but also our ability to read audiences, adapt quickly and deliver consistently high-quality performances in demanding professional settings. We understand that every event is different, and we pride ourselves on being reliable, prepared and easy to work with — from the initial booking process through to the final performance. What makes Southway unique is the combination of live musicianship and electronic production. We are not a traditional function band and we are not simply a DJ act. Our performance sits in the space between the two, giving audiences the excitement of seeing musicians perform while creating the atmosphere and energy of a dance event. We are fully self-contained with our own PA and lighting rig, allowing us to perform at a wide variety of venues and events. Whether it is a private celebration, corporate event, festival, university event or luxury hospitality setting, our aim is always the same: to create an incredible atmosphere and get people moving. Southway combines our international experience, love of dance music and passion for live performance into one distinctive show. We are excited to bring this unique experience to audiences and events across the UK and beyond.

Southay were amazing! As soon as they arrived and were setting up we knew we'd made the right choice. Talented, quirky, cool, super friendly, kind, helpful, and most importantly they know how to keep happy party people happy! Love them.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Southway perform at my wife’s 50th birthday celebration, and they completely exceeded all expectations! From the first song to the last, they brought an incredible energy that kept the dance floor packed all night. Their setlist was perfectly curated, covering the best hits from the 80s, 90s, 00s, and current music, making sure there was something for everyone to enjoy. Whether it was classic anthems, 80's throwbacks, or modern chart-toppers, they played each song with flawless musicianship and infectious enthusiasm. Not only were they incredibly talented, but their interaction with the crowd made the whole experience feel personal and engaging. They read the room perfectly, kept the momentum going, and genuinely seemed to love what they do – and it showed! We’ve had so many guests comment on how amazing the band was and how much fun they had dancing the night away. If you’re looking for a high-energy, top-class band for any special event, Southway are the ones to book. They are also the most professional duo that were extremely flexible even on the night with changes to timings. They turned up well before the event to ensure they could setup and sound check and were the most polite and friendly couple that went out of their way to ensure everyone had a great time. Thank you again for making my wife’s milestone birthday so unforgettable! We’ll be talking about this night for years to come. Extremely Highly recommended! 🎶🎸🎤💃🔥
