Ska Train with Jon Read from The Specials! |
|
|
At the beginning of March this year we played a second consecutive sold-out gig at Temperance in Leamington Spa, and this time we had a very special guest; the one and only Jon Read from The Specials' horn section! Huge thanks to everyone who came along to what has become our regular(ish) first-Sunday-afternoon-of-the-month slot for "Sunday Ska @ Temperance", and huge thanks to the fabulous Jon Read for joining us on stage! |

...the next Ska on Sunday (April 7th) sold out weeks ago, but don't worry, it wasn't the Last Boat, you just need to plan ahead! There are still a few tickets left for Sunday May 5th, so just click on this image to snap yours up, but you had better get in quick! See you there... |
|
|
And speaking of last-minute tickets, there's just a few left for this Saturday's gig at the Coundon Social Club in Coventry. Fancy a ride on the Ska Train this weekend? We can't wait to play there, and it would be great to have you join us for a skanking good night! | | |

Things are always busy with Ska Train! If you've seen us perform recently you might have noticed the odd line-up change, as we have been thrilled to welcome the rather fabulous Nathan Howard on bass guitar. Nathan has a long history of playing live with bands all over the country, he's played in big bands, party bands, rock, swing and jazz bands, and he's finally made his home with ska: he got there in the end! Come say hi to Nathan at our next gig, and just ask him how many bass guitars he has at home... ...and you can also join us in our mission to one day make him smile on stage! |

Choose a Song to add to our set list! |
|
|
At Ska Train we pride ourselves on our unique and special brew of song choices, which include ska favourites from the UK 2-Tone era alongside some fabulous Jamaican ska originals. But we also love a curve-ball song choice, something more obscure, or maybe even a non-ska classic tune that gets the Ska Train treatment and will delight our audiences. |

And with that in mind, it's over to you! What song do YOU want to hear coming to a Ska Train gig near you soon? Just click the button below to nominate your choice: |
