The band has had the privilege of sharing a stage and warming up the crowd for Rhoda Dhaker (The Body Snatchers), Esperanza, Scouting For Girls, Skerryvore and The Peatbog Faeries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

ButeFest 2023 was amazing! As soon as we started playing festival goers flooded the tent we were in to catch us on the main stage. The energy in there was electric and it was fantastic to see everyone skanking and embracing the music! Also, a shout-out to the sound engineers for looking after us at the festival, the sound was crystal clear on stage!


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

The Specials are the biggest chunk of who we cover, we were devastated at the news of Terry Hall's death. We will continue to spread the music!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

The band began with a bunch of mates who loved all things Ska and TwoTone, it just grew organically from there.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

We love a festival and a private party, although to be honest, a Ska crowd is epic no matter what the event!
