Yet another amazing video, thanks Lorraine, what would we do without you!

Thanks again to Lorraine for taking some amazing videos at our Ankara gig over the weekend. Phew! So many people were dancing in the bar and on Mojacar paseo too! Incredible.

Here’s a fun video of our encore, Nightboat to Cairo, taken by the lovely Lorraine…

Thanks to Richard for taking some amazing photos of our performance yesterday at Miraflores, Los Gallardos. We had a great time and yes, Tim was tempted to jump in the pool again. This time he went in with Laura who had her 88th birthday!

Thank you, as always, to the wonderful Richard Purvis for taking yet more stunning photos of the band. Enjoy these photos. Thanks also to those who continue to attend our gigs and make each one a special Ska party.

Thanks to everyone who came to our sold-out gig at Dolce Vita, Mojácar, yesterday. We had such a great time and it was great to see so many people, both new and long-term fans. We especially loved having our photo taken with our new #1 fan, Ron, who is big supporter of us on Facebook but now is enshrined in this photo…

Thanks to Alan Pearce for sending us this video taken towards the end of our gig at the Arboleas Walk for Life. It really captures the party atmosphere and we had such a great time playing!

We LOVED playing at the Arboleas Walk for Life event. What an amazing crowd and the lighting was incredible as the sun went down. Thanks to the organisers, especially Irene, and also to Danny Guitarista and to Dani for their performances earlier in the day.

Wow! We can’t believe it, but it seems that four years ago today the AllSkas had their first outing at Party in the Park. It’s amazing how much support we got on that day and even more amazing how much of a following we now have. Thank you so much to everyone who has come to see us since that day.

As Tim often says “you really couldn’t write a business plan saying Start a Ska band and take over the world”, yet that’s exactly what has happened.

Here’s to the next four years!

Here’s a recording of Tim singing She’s Kerosene at last night’s gig in Valery. The place looked amazing, the people were wonderful and we had a fantastic time. Thank you all who came and danced the night away.

A very Merry Christmas to everyone and we hope to see you very soon!

Thanks to Richard from The Tonicx band for this wonderful selection of photos of the All Skas taken at Miraflores over the weekend. We’re thrilled to hear that M.A.C.S. made nearly €5000 for their essential work supporting people with cancer across the area. Well done to all the bands and all the people and all the organisers who were involved. We had a blast.

Thank you to our great supporter Tony Randle from https://mojacar.live/ for filming and making this compilation video from our gig yesterday. It’s clear a lot of work went into making it. Thanks Tony.

Thanks to CHICA DE MAZARRÓN for this review of our private ska party at the Condado Club. It turned into a great event and we had fun playing to a more intimate crowd of ska fans.

So last Saturday night, I’d planned to go out with friends and have a well deserved night off from the day job and blogging…. Then a saxophone started up, my blogging brain kicked right back into action and I knew I had to write about The All Skas! – CHICA DE MAZARRÓN

Here’s the full review

Wow! It’s so great to have a pro sound and light setup for a big fiesta gig! We loved playing to Zurgena, and it was interesting to have such a mix of Spanish and English come to see us. A big shout out to Christina from the Ayuntamiento for hiring us, and also to the wonderful band Odyssey who came on after us – hope it didn’t rain too much for you!

Hi Ska fans!

We’ve created another masterpiece during lockdown with our latest recording. “Games People Play” is a song written, composed and performed by singer/songwriter Joe South. In 1968, the song was released on Joe’s debut album, Introspect. We’ve been inspired by the 1994 version recorded by Inner Circle for our version. It’s a guaranteed fun-filled summer hit! Continue reading “Games People Play”

Here’s a lovely video of us playing Message to you Rudy live at Harleys over the weekend. Thank you to Shelley Percival Dean for taking the video.

What a great gig we had at Harleys over the weekend. Here’s a video taken by Shelley Percival Dean of the guest appearance by Melanie Howard-Coles for “On My Radio”. It was a pleasure to perform this song with her!

Thanks to Claire for taking this video of our new Ska-wap intro!

Hi Ska Fans!

we’d just like to write a quick post about our gigs now that lockdown is easing and gigs are coming through again. We are so happy that you’re still with us as a band, and we are looking forward to entertaining you again!

We’d like to say that for all gigs you need to check carefully with the venue to make sure you comply with their requirements. This is vital to protect you, us and of course the venue too! If there’s a new rule, it’s there for a reason so please do follow them.

The most notable change at the moment seems to be that you need to BOOK to come to a gig. This allows the venues to know who is coming and to control the numbers to new requirements. It also seems that at the moment you may not be able to dance like usual. We’ll come up with some way that you can still get your ska-workout, but please please do respect the rules of the venues.

We are looking forward to playing again and it all kicks off this weekend. BOOK if you want to come!!!

Hello pop pickers!

Our latest creation during lockdown is an 80s classic – It Ain’t What You Do, It’s The Way That You Do It – and we had a lot of fun on this production. We even persuaded the Skaettes to join us, a real first!

We also have to give a huge shout of thanks to DJ Geoff Murrell for doing his intro piece for this video, it really sets the 80s scene perfectly. Why did they get rid of Top of the Pops, we’ll never understand! We’ve brought back Top of the Costas to make up for it…

Thanks to Nigel Bradders for putting this video together of the band performing “House of Fun”. It was, indeed, fun!

Hi All Ska Fans!

We had a little photo shoot after our last rehearsal, and the pictures were amazing! Here are just a couple to keep you happy!

Gorgeous, eh?

Here’s a re-mastered version of our radio interview on SmoothFM. Thank you so much to Tony Nash for inviting us onto the show. We had a blast!

Thank you – thank you – thank you to Richard Purvis for making this wonderful photo video of the band with a recording you took of us playing Nightboat to Cairo. Richard, you are a superhero!

Thanks to the wonderful Nigel Bradder, we have this incredible compilation video from the “School’s Out” event in Moacar. We had a wonderful time and wanted the evening to go on forever…

Nigel makes some wonderful videos and you can find them on his Facebook channel here: https://www.facebook.com/nigel.bradder

Sooo young! Back in 1993, Tim entered an anagram quiz in a music magazine and … won a radio microphone! Here’s the photo to prove it!

In the article which went into local papers, it said “Teenager Tim Ridgway has scooped first prize in a national competition. Nineteen-year-old Tim won a £200 Trantec radio microphone system. Tim, a well-known local saxophone player has performed with the popular local group The DB Blues Band, is studying at Warwick University.

Well-known local saxophone player … nothing changes!

Here’s a great video of the band from our gig at Oasis Pool Bar, July 2019
