About
Easyskanking
play an eclectic mix of foot tapping ska tunes (from the 1960/70s)
and well known classics plundered from the easy listening vaults
and rendered danceable in a ska/rocksteady/reggae
style.
A typical set includes songs ranging from Desmond Dekker’s ‘Israelites', through ‘Monkey Man’, via a reggae rendition of ‘Walking in the Air’ and over to a rather surreal delivery of Katy Perry’s ‘I Kissed a Girl’.
If you can hum it, we’ll skank it!
