Hello Pork Pie Hat – The Skamonics

Jazzy ska from London. Authentic instrumentals from the 60s Jamaican source. Jazz standards given a two-tone makeover. Unexpected covers from four blazing horns and a driving rhythm section. The Skamonics’ first CD delivers them all. Made up of musicians with roots in jazz and ska, the Skamonic sound has wide appeal. From cool West End clubs to East London pubs, festival stages to private functions the Skamonics have filled dance floors and won repeat bookings
