Shalamar

Shalamar, featuring original members Jeffrey Daniel, Howard Hewett and Carolyn ‘Baby Girl’ Griffey are returning to The London Palladium with a new show called The Shalamar Songbook. With very special guests Phil Fearon and Galaxy!

“Fans can expect a show full of Shalamar Soul & Funk Classics with a journey through the hits and the best album tracks,” said lead singer Howard Hewett.

The show will include the bands classic hit singles such as Take That to The Bank, I Owe You One, Right in the Socket, Make That Move, Friends’ The 2nd Time Around, I Can Make You Feel Good and A Night to Remember but also underground Soul classics that were big dancefloor favourites – especially in the London soul clubs around the late 70s and early 80s.

For Jeffrey Daniel, he has fond memories about performing at The London Palladium back in 2018. “Everything about the day was perfect, the weather was great, the venue spectacular, the crowd was incredible, I mean the London Soul crowd has always supported Shalamar but to hear the audience singing along to classic 80’s dancefloor tunes even before we came on was just incredible,” said Daniel. “The 90 minutes on stage just few by. After the show, the reaction on social media was crazy, people posting videos not only of us but the crowd getting in the mood as well!”

Phil Fearon and Galaxy broke through in the mid 80s with the Top 5 hit Dancing Tight. If you have a good memory you’ll recall Phil performing the song on Top of the Pops and doing backflips on the BBC stage!
