   About The Skamonics
Skamonics cd launch flyer

Sharp suits, silly hats and a killer horn section:

The Skamonics are a 7 piece jazz-ska band, playing a unique mix of two-tone, ska, jazz and completely unexpected covers, and featuring musicians who have played with Madness, Amy Winehouse, The Streets and The Trojans.

Highlights so far include a gig at the world famous 100 Club on Oxford Street supporting ska legend Rico Rodriguez, and several sell-out nights at London's ska mecca: Gaz's Rockin' Blues @ the St Moritz, Soho.

Please get in touch if you'd like to book us. We're available now for parties, weddings, barmitzvahs, etc.
Just read what these lovely people have to say about us:

"Nice trombone playing" - Rico Rodriguez

"The Skamonics played my club Gaz's Rockin' Blues the other day. When I heard the guitarist I thought this is it, he was so good I had to nick him for my band" - Gaz Mayall, Ska godfather

"Had me dancing so hard I missed my last train!" - DJ Dave @ the 100 Club, Oxford Street

"Skamonics were fabulous and brought just the kind of performance we were looking for, we would highly recommend them" - Alex Lee, Event Co-ordinator Jazz on the River Festival.

SKA is your friend!
