It’s holiday season and what better way of getting into the mood than joining Michael Mwenso and his outrageously brilliant band, The Shakes, for a celebration of community and love with a soulful twist on Christmas classics.


Michael Mwenso Band Leader/Vocals
Vuyo Sotashe Vocals
Miss Baby Sol Vocals
Niya Lovell Dancer
Miles Wilkins Keys/Piano
Alan Weekes Guitar
Nolan Nwachukwu Bass
Ahmad Johnson Drums
Ruben Fox Tenor Saxophone

Led by the wonderfully charismatic Mwenso, and featuring an exceptional line-up of jazz musicians and vocalists from New York and London (including a dancer!), this concert promises to bring to life an Afrofuturistic Winter Wonderland, marking Mwenso’s long-awaited return to Bristol after at least a decade!

Be prepared for some fantastic new arrangements of Christmas classics such as Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer…plus some of the Shakes’ original anthemic music too. This show is the perfect embodiment of Mwenso’s lifelong mission to uplift, heal and empower individuals and communities through Black music. It’ll be difficult not to dance…
