Shameless self promotion. I'm in a London based band called The Drybones, we play original ska, reggae mixed with bits of blues and rock. http://www.last.fm/music/The+Drybones/Cage+Fighter+the+Musical Have a listen and let us know what you think, if your around london would be great to see you. Or if your looking to book a ska band in the UK let us know.
