"We could listen to this band all day long. Actually, we can as we bought the CD! The Shackleton Trio performed during the afternoon at our wedding and we loved every minute. They are really lovely and talented people. Their music just brings a smile to their face. I’m sure we will be going to one of their gigs soon! Clare & Owen."
