Everyone from Desmond Dekker and Prince Buster through to 2-Tone greats like Jerry Dammers

The various band members have many decades of experience between them, and have respectively played across a multitude of genres from big band orchestras to garage punk! But all roads lead to ska, and all of us have finally found our spiritual home at Ska \train!

It doesn't really matter - any event can be made better with ska music, it's just impossible to stand still!

Yes! You can request any song at all at the time of your booking, and we will learn it and deliver a special skanked-up version of it just for you!

Of course! The prices quoted here give you an idea of what we can offer, but we can vary the timings and arrangements around to fit in with whatever your requirements are on the day!

Yes! Our fabulous horn section includes the First Lady of the Skabone, Nik McKiernan!

Of course! This music is made to share! These songs are great to get everyone singing and clapping along as they dance, and some of the band - especially the singer and the saxophonist - love to wander around the dance floor as they perform. And if anyone wants their spot on the mic - however good (or not!) they are, just let us know!

Most popular booking includes a 2 hour set-up, 2 x 60 minute sets with a 20-30 minute break in between, and a 30 minute get-out.

Of course!

We choose the set list to match the event or occasion, however the client can request ANY song at the time of booking and we will perform a ska-d up version of it especially for them!

Most commonly received comments are about our high-energy performance, along with the great song selection and professional standard of our work.

Of course, if we just need to plug in and play when we arrive then this is much quicker and easier for us and our fee will reflect that.

Yes, we can supply suitable background music while we set up, during our break, and for a short time after we finish. We can also supply a full ska DJ set either before or after our live set for up to 2 hours.
