Bit hard on poor Jools! You have to admit though he has a fantastic band, they are all ace musicians. Seen them live loads of times and it’s always entertaining.

no problem with the music, , and yea the band is top draw, and for that i have about 5 of his cds.

i can see ska making a come back, its just such great music, joyous, dancey, energy filled fun.

im sure it will be on catch up

Ska & reggae both hopefully nudging back into mainstream (without the 'Britain First/Skinhead' overtones)

 

- Watch this space ..............

We’re going to see Jools and his band soon - saw them years ago but it was the presence of Imelda May

as one of the guest vocalists ( along with the magnificent Ruby Turner) that swayed me this time.

When I needed a bass signed for a Bass Bash raffle, Dave Swift got me backstage to do it. 

Ruby Turner was on the bill that day (along with The Selector)

There's a whole load of 2 Tone and Specials on before this, thanks for the heads up

The Specials thought exactly the same back in late 1978.

Just watching this and it’s marvellous! The variety of basses that just Dave Swift is playing is great to look at in addition to the music.
