hi Biff
good to see another rudeboy on the forums.
I have seen Madness countless times in concert, including at Madstock and at the Hammersmith Apollo back in the mid 80's.
I have also had the pleasure of sitting in the bands dressing room in the day as my best friend at the time was dating Suggs' cousin

I've also seen the Bodysnatchers and the Specials (or was it specials AKA?) in concert.
I still listen to the great sound of Ska on cds but wish I had never got rid of my vinyl collection

shame you are so far up north, there is a local Ska group (Skatronics) playing a concert on the 1st locally to me
and they have some special guests (no names yet) but are believed to be from the beat and the bodysnatchers.
it should be a great evening
checkout their website, you never know they may do a gig up your way

Not a huge fan of Ska normally, but there is this band here in the states called the Skatalites that are pretty good. I guess I also like this band called the Mad Caddies which might be considered Ska, and also I'm a huge fan of Bedoin Soundclash which is definitely a Ska/reggae band! You should really check the Bedoin Soundclash out! Oh and Tim Armstrong, the singer for arguably my favorite Punk band out there just released a Ska album that's REALLY GOOD! check that one out too if you get a chance.

Other than that, I'm normally a Street Punk fan, (US Bombs, Those Unknown, Sixer, etc).
