20 years of Hipshaker

Hard to believe but true, Portsmouth's venerable 60's beat and funk DJ combo are soon to celebrate a milestone birthday; Hipshaker have been entertaining the masses for twenty years and, to celebrate this milestone, DJs Simon and Dave are having a party.

Over two decades this DJ duo have thrilled audiences at The Wedgewood Rooms, got crowds dancing at the Isle of Wight Festival, brought the music to the Ryde Scooter Rally and, generally, supplied good tunes to thousands of folks along the South Coast and beyond. Along the way they've released an LP that collected rare tunes in one vinyl package (still available if you look on ebay) and power a radio show on local station Express FM.

The boys are holding their birthday shindig at at Southsea's Coastguard Studio on Friday 14th December, with tickets priced at a very reasonable £12, and they've invited their good chums The Small Fakers along for some live music too. Ticket information should be available soon, best to check the Hipshaker Facebook page for updates.
