About The Shift – professional wedding band based in Oxfordshire
The Shift are made up of four experienced professional musicians based in Oxfordshire.
Between them, they’ve played winter seasons in the Alps, livened up countless weddings and other events here in the UK and been on tours of Europe and the USA.
We're listed on FixTheMusic's 11 Best Wedding Bands in Oxfordshire 🏆
We're regularly booked to perform for weddings and events at Memorial Hall in Swindon.
They’ve been playing together as The Shift since 2006, honing their unique blend of dynamic instrumentation and pitch-perfect harmonies to cover everything from all-out rock ‘n’ pop to breezy vintage classics.
Nowadays most of our shows are a mixture of corporate clients and weddings, though no show is too large or too small. Where there is a crowd to entertain, we’re there!

"A truly really amazing band who made our party! Really tasteful covers played really well by 4 really sound guys. We can't thank you enough! Stephen and The Shift guys were total pros from start to finish. Their advice about timings, background music and the general flow of the evening's entertainment really made a difference. Thank you so much."
"We recently had a garden party for my husband’s 50th and we decided to hire some live music to provide the entertainment. The Shift turned out to be the perfect band for our family and friends. They mixed up old and new tunes (good for the youngsters there!), were super flexible with their set timings (the weather threw us off schedule somewhat) and took some random requests that they managed to pull off admirably. They were on time and had a very professional attitude throughout. Thanks again guys. You were ace."
"We’d seen The Shift a couple of years back at a friend’s 40th and knew straight away they’d be perfect for our wedding. They have a genuine warmth and friendliness, both on and off stage, which makes them very easy to work with. They were a total hit on the night. Highly recommended!"
"So glad we booked The Shift for our wedding! They were absolutely brilliant :) From all the pre-wedding check-ins, and putting together a list of music we love, to performing on the night, they really were fantastic. So many people have since said to me "your band were brilliant". I couldn't stop dancing the whole time they were playing! Thank you Martin, and all of you for making our evening so special."
