Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Skabucks always bring the party! Top notch toe-tapping tunes and maximum energy mean that the dance floor is never empty
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
Every venue from your local pub up to Birmingham O2, Santa Pod Raceway and Skegness Ska and Reggae festival
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
Madness, The Specials, The Beat and Bad Manners
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Probably the Birmingham O2
Do you have different line-up options?
We have a standard line-up of 6 musicians: Vocals, guitar, bass, keys, sax and drums
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We are always happy to accommodate your timings. We know that life is never straightforward!
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Happy to play our own playlist or yours through our PA. Typically, we can continue the music for 30 minutes after we finish playing for no additional charge.
How much time do you need to set up?
We usually like to arrive a minimum of 2 hours before start time (or before we have to be clear of the room). Takes us about 90 minutes to set up, and then some time to get changed before we start
Can you roam around while you perform?
We do a bit of that as part of the show, but we're not a roaming band as such. We love a bit of audience participation
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
You can absolutely choose your faves from our setlist.
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
We provide all PA and lights
Can you learn song requests before the event?
Happy to learn requests for an additional fee of £60 per song
