Ska Britannia is the coolest act around with a live band that will have your audience swinging to the tunes of Madness, Bad Manners, The Specials, UB40, The Jam and many more. Available for private functions, weddings and corporate events, this live band is not to be missed. Formed in the Midlands, Ska Britannia is an exciting and popular tribute act that is regularly featured on stages up and down the country. These talented musicians have become a mainstay at holiday parks, leisure parks, pubs, clubs, and other venues and are the headline act at the annual Nottingham Scooter Rally. Ska Britannia has been together for over two years, melding into a tight unit.
Their rich tapestry of sound weaves together melodic keys, smooth guitars, brazen brass and time-perfect drums to create a musical spectacle unlike any other. Audiences of all sizes find it hard to resist the music and even the surliest of guests will find themselves skanking to the off-beats and walking bass lines. Ska music is hugely popular in the UK and draws inspiration from the Caribbean.
As a precursor to reggae and rocksteady, it combines elements of calypso, Caribbean mento, American jazz and R&B to create a party sound that oozes cool. Popular in Britain since the rise of mods in the 1960s, it has been the touchpoint for some truly incredible music. Guests at a Ska Britannia gig can expect to hear all these elements brought to life in renditions of ‘Town Called Malice’, ‘Message to You Rudi’, ‘Baggy Trousers’, ‘Night Boat to Cairo’, ‘It Must Be Love’, ‘Monkey Man’, ‘Food For Thought’ and countless others. Their large repertoire and commitment to the genre make Ska Britannia one of the best ska bands in the UK.
This amazing band have impressed guests at stages around the UK and garnered applause and rave reviews such as: "We Saw this band at Retro Festival Newark yesterday. They were fantastic and sounded great. Lots of people dancing and having a wonderful time. Really enjoyed their set." Leaders and tastemakers of their genre, there is no better ska band for your event. An all-encompassing repertoire, talented musicians and an intoxicating stage presence mark Ska Britannia as the ideal accompaniment to any event.
