I've been really busy with my assignments for uni that's why the blog got a bit neglected. I promise to write more soon. Someone posted information to my comment box about the Skatalites concert. I love this band and I didn't know that they are playing this Saturday at the Picture House. This group was established in 1965 and it's a living history, if you like ska music you definitely can't miss it
