We had a great time playing Dumplins Live Ska<\/a> on Saturday night at the Fiddler’s Elbow near Chalk Farm in Camden.<\/p>\n

It was good to be able to play lots of our more obscure 60s ska tunes as we this was an audience that had definitely come to hear proper ska, and not the old chestnuts that every ska band can play (much as we love them).<\/p>\n

And as the Skatalites were capable of turning any tune that caught their fancy into a ska number, we were happy to play a few of our more modern covers too.<\/p>\n

So this is what we played.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Chinatown<\/li>\n
  2. Latin Goes Ska<\/li>\n
  3. I\u2019m in the Mood For Love<\/li>\n
  4. You’re Wondering Now<\/li>\n
  5. Alley Cat Ska<\/li>\n
  6. Man In The Street<\/li>\n
  7. Enola Gay<\/li>\n
  8. Price Tag<\/li>\n
  9. Work Song<\/li>\n
  10. 99 Red Balloons<\/li>\n
  11. Tainted Love<\/li>\n
  12. My Boy Lollipop<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As it’s the summer and not all the band were available we had two guests.<\/p>\n
