SKA TONE Fee from £1320 
SKA TONE Profile
Ska Tone are an established 7 piece Ska band made up of a young bunch of fun loving lads who's energy knows no bounds. The band have been playing the national circuit for over 5 years and made occasional trips to the continent to show our European friends a good time.
Previous festival gigs include Guilfest Main Stage 2002, Leeds Millenium square 2001, Bradford festival 2001-2003, Portsmouth festival 2002, dartford festival 2002-2004, Bedford festival 2004 and many many more. With a charismatic frontman, full horn section and the tightest rhythm section in the land, Ska Tone never fail to get the audience up and moving to the 2-tone classics of the Specials, Madness, Bad Manners and the Selector. They also pay homage to the birth of Ska with tracks by Toots and the Maytals, Desmond Dekker and the Upsetters included in the set.
Ska Tone have supported acts including… The Fun Loving Criminals, The Selecter, The Beat, Jools Holland and many more.
Having booked quite a few bands for parties over the years they were the best we have ever had.Their enthusiasm and great music ensured a full dance floor from the first song until they finished 2 hours later.They provided perfect music for a diverse group of 30-50 year olds dressed as large insects! We have dozens of thank you letters all praising the ‘great band’I would heartily recommend them to anyone organizing a party and wanting to get something that provides a whole lot more raucous fun than the ubiquitous bespangled cool funk on offer elsewhere.To top it all they were all extremely nice people!

what previous clients say
Could you please thank all the guys for a wonderful night.

Wild style classic ska from the ultimate old skool party band. This Seven-piece act have audiences bouncing with raw energy.
There's nothing like a good bit of ska to get a festival started, and main-stage openers Ska Tone really know what a good bit of ska is. Resplendent in two-tone and a kilt no less (on Trumpet Player Nick Horne), Ska Tone look the part as well as sounding it.
Once we'd got the expected nod to Lucasfilm (well what would expect from Skarth Vader and Ska-2-d-2?) Ska Tone really took off. Good old school ska with all the trimmings (the influence of Madness and The Specials shining through), which was performed quite frankly masterfully. I couldn't see a person within 100 yards not skanking.
After a blinding set, front man Bobba Fat left the stage after addressing the crowd pontifical style: "bless you, bless you", and went to a galaxy far, far away.

They were really brilliant. The whole place went mad when they launched into Too much to young and they kept it like that right until the end. It was a great party and most of it was down to the band.
Thanks!
