If you’re of a certain age - one young enough that you win’t quite remember his pop heyday - you might be forgiven for immediately associating Shakin’ Stevens with Christmas, but there is of course more to him than ‘Merry Christmas Everybody’, and indeed more to him than providing dubious quotes for the back of Alan Partridge’s autobiography. The man born Michael Baratt has had no fewer than thirty-thtee top forty singles in his native Britain, and holds the impressive accolade of being the most successful artist, in chart terms, in the UK through the eighties, based on singles sales.
He’s turned out nineteen studio albums to date, with the most recent, Now Listen, dropping in 2007; at the time, it was his first such release for sixteen years. He’s not been too active in the studio, then, but he has continued to tour, completing a run of intimate venues across the UK in late 2011, with a full band and setlists that ticked off all the classics. In 2012, he played across Europe too, proving that his fanbase remains alive and well across the continent; his place on the nostalgia circuit is certainly assured, but whether he has anything more to offer the charts is another question entirely.
I saw old time rock and roller Shaky as support act for The Status Quo in Bournemouth at the beginning of the month. Considering that he had a large heart attack not too long ago, he has been doing really well health-wise and managed to perform just fine. He performed a very even mix of hits and new tracks (alternating a lot and sadly no 'Julie', which is my favourite of his), His voice has aged alright and his performance was pretty good.
Would see again if he did a solo tour
