In 1983 I went to see Shakatak in concert at the King's Theatre in Southsea during the 'Invitations' tour. After the show I waited outside to get my programme signed by all the band. I remember Bill Sharpe saying to me that they would be on TV in a few days time on a programme called Off The Record. I videotaped the programme and fortunately kept hold of the tape. I've not seen this (41 year old!) recording anywhere else so I thought I'd upload it here. Enjoy!

What a great and unique upload and amazing quality too for something videotaped 40 plus years ago! 'Still going strong ' is their motto. Over the years I've seen them a number of times but over the last few years they've been playing at the Concorde Club at Eastleigh which isn't far as I live in Portsmouth. Amazing that this was at the king's in Southsea!

Great live recording, thank you so much for sharing, one of the few live recordings before Jackie Rawe left the band - a shame night birds is cut short !
