Live Bands Appearing On Thursday 13th December
The Eskalators – Local SKA heroes the Eskalators finally take to the stage at this very special SKA Burlesque. Mixing both original and Two-Tone SKA, as well as knocking out SKA versions of classic rock tracks such as Led Zep’s, Whole Lotta Love. This is a much anticipated and eagerly awaited appearance from this legendary New Cross band.
Swagga –A cross genre mix of Ska, Hip Hop & Rap, fusing old and new bringing Ska to a different level. Lyrical genius Ray writes witty, urban fairytales which document modern life in Britain, covering the ASBO generation and the Americanisation of the British culture (

Kunta Kinte - Blending tribal, world-influenced drums and percussion with quirky, acerbic English lyrics, six-piece pop band Kunta Kinte have been described as “Adam Ant meets the Scissor Sisters” by UK industry publication Record Of The Day. Their dressed-up live shows are a riot of chanting backing vocals, face paint and Victorian-inspired finery, which might explain why Record of the Day has said that “they look and sound like nothing we have seen in recent times” and Music Week called the group “brilliant – packed with pop hits and charisma.”
