AGMP bring legendary ska outfit The Skatalites to the H&H this Thursday 17th November.

The Skatalites began performing in Jamaica in 1964. The band became legendary, backing all the developing artists of the day, such as Toots and The Maytals, Prince Buster and The Wailers featuring Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. These groups were all recording on the new beat called ska, which had an infectious rhythm that was catching on like wildfire. Eventually, the beat slowed down into rocksteady, and then reggae. This wildfire spread unstoppably around the world, developing into a huge musical tree with many stylistic branches, including lovers rock, dub, dancehall/ ragga, ska-punk,, and others.

Since reforming they have not stopped thrilling audiences in every corner of the globe. Even after more than 50 years, and various lineup changes as members leave one stage for another, the band continues to perform and record new music in the inimitable Jamaican style, like only they can. Check out their single ‘Guns of Navarone’ below;

The anglo-welsh four piece consisting of band Matt Saunders (vocals/ guitar), Matt Wood (guitar), Oli Paget-Moon (bass) and Jordan Cook (drums) have proved to be one of the most exciting new live bands around and effortlessly combine their love of Roxy, Barrett, krautrockand late proto-punk to great effect. To coincide with a short UK Tour, the band are set to release a brand new track in early November.

Recorded in London with producer / engineer Andy Savours (My Bloody Valentine, Horrors) , ‘You Said You Saw Us’ is the first new material since the release of the critically acclaimed debut album ‘Operator’ from February this year and is perhaps their finest moment to date. Check out the video for their previous single ‘Taffy Come Home’ below;
