Skanking the Earl Haig

Mar 6, 2015 gig, setlist Earl Haig Comments are off

The Earl Haig is an old British Legion social club in Crouch End now converted into a pub and social centre for the area.

We like it because it has a good stage, and great sound.

We played two sets last night, with special guest Jackie Grant making her debut on tenor sax.

It was too dark – and a bit too much of a rush – to take more than a few snaps.

But this is what we played:

Chinatown
Guns Of Navarone
Latin Goes Ska
Tide Is High
Mood For Love
Harder They Come
Alley Cat Ska
Man In The Street
Mambo Number 5
Dr Who
Price Tag

One Step Beyond
Work Song
Simmer Down
Pata Pata
10 Out Of 10
99 Red Balloons
Tainted Love
My Boy Lollipop
Night Boat To Cairo

Thanks to Elliot for being a great sound engineer.

Our next public gig is next Thursday when we return to the Earl Haig Hall Elder Avenue, London N8 9TH.

We had a great time when we played there before. There’s a good stage and a great sound system, and a lovely relaxed vibe to the place.

We will be playing two full sets – and it’s free to get in.

And if you want to invite your friends, here is the Facebook event.

Our next public gig will be at the Earl Haig Hall in Crouch End on Thursday Nov 6th at 8pm.

It’s free and we will be playing two sets of ska and rock-steady.

There’s a Facebook event here. And you download a pdf flyer Skamonics at Earl Haig.

And the Earl Haig sounds pretty good to us:

The Earl Haig is an ex-British Legion come social club in the heart of Crouch End. Proud to be a family and canine friendly pub, we offer an extensive selection of local, national and international ales, lagers, wines and spirits. Our food offering is incredibly important to us, with our excellent menu including vegetarian options, kid’s dishes, Sunday lunches and our brand new ‘Host Your Own Roast’.
