![]() | The Shakers are Paul Sharmans latest rockin' good time band. Pauls history includes 70s country band Shucks, the Boogie Band but most Travelling Shoes fans will remember Paul for the fabulous Blues Shakers, who for a long time alternated Friday nights with Travelling Shoes down the famous Nags Head, High Wycombe. Sadly Spike and Bob Walker are no longer with us but Paul will still be rocking the house with his new band. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
