The Skatalites May 24, 2012

The pioneering and hugely influential rocksteady ska legends The Skatalites live at Band on the Wall performing all their hits and more. From 'Guns of Navarone' and 'Confucius' to 'Man in the Street' expect them all at what promises to be a serious party night.

In the late 70's, 2-Tone ska revival groups like The Specials, Madness, The Beat, and The Selecter kept the beat alive and well. Then, in the 80's (and ever since), groups like The Slackers, HepCat, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, No Doubt, David Hillyard and The Rocksteady 7, The Toasters and King Django, paid tribute to The Skatalites as a primary influence. An inspiration to countless fans ever since, come and enjoy the original pioneers of ska live in Manchester
