   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.

Swing Mon Amour





Jun 6 2009 8:54 AM

Opening night: Tuesday 9th june 2009 - 9pm / 11.30pm

Forget about the gym workout: come dancing!!

Thank goodness we will be opened on the 9th for the first edition of Swing Mon Amour so you'll have something nice to do on a tuesday night. It's very cheap (in terms of money not quality obviously), and you'll get great acts every week that will make you sweat and get plenty of excercice. I'm talking resident Dj El Nino from Black Cotton Club & Lady Luck, and Gentleman Tim & the Contenders a great 1950's swing R&B Chicago blues band. You'll dance all night, guaranted!

Styles : Blues - Chicago Blues - West coast Blues - 20's 30's -  Gypsy swing  - Big Band - Swing - R&B - Jump Jive - Rockabilly - Rock&Roll - Western Hillbilly - and many more...
