Event information
The Skapones – now celebrating their nigh on twelth year of giving their eager audience the skanking they deserve … far more than just another Monkey Mantastic ska band, Paul Willo and his wonderful band play a progressive, expansive version of the Dance Craze beat…yes, Specials, Beat, Selecter influences may be discerned, but there are some interesting twists and turns with both their striking originals and occasional classic and left of centre enigmatic covers…a punky reggae tease all the way from..The Tees… as in Tyne Tees, these effortlessly Bonny Lads are leading lights in the Specialized Project, a wonderful phenomenon that raises money for Teenage Cancer Trust & Youth Music UK, a subject which we know is very close to frontman Paul Willo’s big heart. Guaranteed night of skanking joy with your social conscience properly adjusted too.
The Skalps – very pleased to welcome these Dublin based purveyors of ska and reggae to The Dublin tonight…The Skalps were formed by Dubliner Tommy Byrne formerly of Present Arms, who, upon approaching a significant birthday, decided he wanted to “scalp” a few of his favourite musicians from the local music scene to record some of his original tunes for posterity. Getting on for 10 years on The Skalps are still going strong. Please arrive nice and early tonight to give them a good Camden Town welcome!
