D’Ska Feedback

Here are just some of the amazing comments we get from happy skankers!

SHERBORNE PRIDE

D’Ska Assassins were incredible from start to finish. They kickstarted the main programme of events for us, pulling in a huge crowd and creating a festival atmosphere that was simply unforgettable. Their setlist was full of epic classics mixed in with their original material which the crowd loved in equal measure. Lloyd is a charismatic frontman, really enchants the crowd. We’d book them again in a heartbeat, and feedback from the audience is that for many, they were a favourite from the day!

DO THE DOG MUSIC

These guys kick up an absolute riot of trumpet driven punky two-tone of catchy melodies and great sing-song choruses that will get you up and jumping throughout.

BUTTON DOWN RADIO

An absolute ska explosion barrage of in-your-face ska.

GEORGE K

I saw these at the Cheese & Grain, supporting Neville Staple from The Specials. I would have paid just to see them tbh!

ANDY D
