About this event
Baked A La Ska take their bloodied chainsaw to your most loved spooky classics at Band on the Wall once more! Maximise your Halloween fun content with one of the country’s most entertaining live acts – expect a few hits from the spookiest ska record ever made – “Skalloween”. Fancy dress is enthusiastically encouraged! Baked A La Ska are the “heavy heavy sound” of Manchester, a super charged 11-headed ska monster on a rampage through the dance floors of the UK leaving a trail of skanked out bodies in their wake. It’s a band of assembled oddballs and pranksters brought together by keyboardist and wizard Mr John Ellis, fronted by an un-holy trio of singers: Frank “The Skank”, Tommy Robot and Kuntri Ranks, who combine with the soft lilt and harmonica magic of Robin Sunflower. Baked A La Ska also feature one of the tightest rhythm sections in Manchester with the “chops to make you drop”. “UPBEAT ANTHEMS AND DANCEHALL SKANKING…WOULDN’T YOU JUST LOVE TO SEE THIS LOT LIVE?” The Sunday Times “UTTERLY BONKERS BUT IRRESISTABLE” Manchester Evening News
