Welcome to the UK Scene

Ok ska wise where is the best place you know of in the UK?

I know that Manchester has a good scene and Norfolk seems to have a big ska scene.

Other than that i dunno. Huddersfield is ok, but i only know from Hudds Mr Shiraz. Anyways suggest some places.

Ed Rome (their lead singer and driving force) is working on a solo project, and has a CD coming out on Pama International's Rockers Revolt label.

The BiG are a seriously top notch ska band, and Ed's solo stuff is more Reggae, but very very good indeed!

check them out.

also, from Colchester, check out NEWTOWN KINGS! they are great.; ▶ Reply to This
