The group will perform their greatest hits such as “A Night To Remember“, "Take That to The Bank", "Second Time Around", "Make That Move", "Dead Giveaway", “Disappearing Act”, “Dancin’ In The Sheets”, “Over and Over”, Friends” and many more.
Shalamar were also synonymous with a huge dance craze that had never seen before in the UK and Europe. Jeffrey Daniel brought the body popping phenomenon from Los Angeles and performed the first moonwalk on European TV.
Howard Hewett and Jeffrey Daniel from the classic 1982 line up maintain their distinctive performances with the daughter of Solar Records Founder Dick Griffey taking the female lead vocalist slot, a role she has held since 2001, making her the longest serving female member of the group.
