In 2007 Bob Paterson and Steve Fernie formed a live music promotions company called Movers & Shakers with the sole aim of bringing high quality live music to their home county of Suffolk.
Since September 2007 they have promoted Jacqui McShee's Pentangle, Ralph McTell, Martin Carthy with Dave Swarbrick, John Renbourn with Robin Williamson, Martin Simpson, Chris Difford (from Squeeze) and Keep It Cash at The Fisher Theatre in Bungay (Suffolk). They have also promoted Ian Hunter, Show of Hands, Dr Feelgood, The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, The Hamsters, Ralph McTell, Martyn Joseph and Glenn Tilbrook in Ipswich; Oysterband acoustic and Ralph McTell in Bury St Edmunds and the cricket commentator (and bon viveur) "My Dear Old Thing" Henry Blofeld in Norwich.
Throughout May 2009 Movers & Shakers ran a series of classical music concerts in various Suffolk churches with a band they created and sourced called "Classifications". They hope to re-run the series in 2010.
The programme for 2010 is as varied as the line up above - but maintaining the high quality. Already 2010 looks to be a very exciting year for Movers & Shakers as they continue to push the boundaries of what they promote - geographically and musically.
