The band’s seven-piece line-up includes spine-tingling horns (trombone and sax) and a rock-solid rhythm section, with guitar, keys and vocals that will transport you back to an explosive musical era of punk, politics and messages of peace. Since 2023 Ska Train have established a record-breaking run of sold-out dates at Leamington’s award-winning Temperance Music Bar, have supported US ska-punk band Monkey on their UK tour, have played live on stage with former members of The Specials, and have headlined festivals including the Congleton Jazz and Blues Festival. So if you’ve ever set sail in a Night Boat To Cairo, gazed at your Mirror In The Bathroom, or simply done Too Much Too Young, get on board the Ska Train now for an unforgettable live musical journey that will truly take you One Step Beyond... “Fantastic, absolutely loved playing with these guys” (Jon Read ex-Specials, trumpet) “Ska Train bring the party to you… bags of soul with a heavy heavy ska sound” (Dennis Rollins MBE, British jazz and funk trombone legend) “Simply the best ska band we’ve ever had here” (Adrian Gains, Temperance Music Bar)
