Ska Train

Ska Train celebrate the UK ska revival of the late 1970’s and early 80’s, a movement pioneered by Jerry Dammers’ iconic 2-Tone record label, and which included bands like The Specials, Madness, Bad Manners, The Beat, and the Selecter. Their seven-piece line-up includes an all-female, spine-tingling horn section (trombone and sax), with a rock-solid rhythm section and guitar, keys and vocals that will transport audiences back to a fantastic musical era of post-punk excitement. In 2026 Ska Train are playing to bigger crowds and at more exciting venues than ever before. They are extending their record-breaking run of sold-out dates at the award-winning Temperance Music Bar, will share the bill with legendary British band Dr Feelgood at the UK’s biggest biker festival, and will once again headline the prestigious Congleton Jazz and Blues Festival.
