THe MArching SKaletons
When we were unexpectedly awakened from the eternal sleep we had a shared wish to keep alive the origins of ska, to share this with others, and to dance. When writing new tunes we keep the flame of this music in our hearts and to share classic and unearthed tunes from the first wave of ska.
The image for the band was very important and was designed by wonderful artist Jim Sanders and we started playing both as a street and stage band.
We are really pleased to have forged close working relationships and repeat bookings at Camp Bestival, Chris Tofu, Elderflower Fields Festival, Madness, Wickham Festival, Hootenanny Brixton, Gaz's Rocking Blues and The Brighton Ska train.
If you've ever woken one morning with your feet still dancing and thinking, "wow that skeleton ska band last night raised the roof", then you will have seen us at one of the following shows.
