Skankings played for us at Melton Ska Fest 2025 and put on a fantastic show. Tight, Professional, Tallented, proper Crowd pleasers.

In addition, I have seen & worked along side them independently and they smashed it everytime.
Reggae & Ska classics that get people on their feet !

Fantastic. 👌
Great tunes, played by truly great musicians who really enjoy what they’re doing.
Got everybody dancing and kept them on the dance floor. Played a mixture of ska and reggae as requested, and they didn’t disappoint. They really made it a memorable night. Truly professional, they weren’t long setting up and they didn’t miss a beat. Would definitely hire them again and will wholeheartedly recommend them to anybody who wants their night to run smoothly and be one for everyone to remember.
Thank you all so much. You made my night, and everyone else’s !
Much appreciated. ❤️

This band is a must see for any ska, 2Tone, rocksteady, reggae fan. I’ve seen them a few times now the last time at Everard beer hall, and absolutely loved there performances (as always). The band are sure to get you singing along, foot tapping or Skanking. Im hoping to see them again soon. 🎷🥁🎵▪️▫️▪️▫️

Everytime The Skankings perform at Moonshine Leicester, their energy, talent and passion for music really make every event special!
They keep the crowd on their feet singing and dancing and i can’t wait to have them back!

Only managed to see a couple of times, but both gigs were fantastic. Really good atmosphere from the uplifting Mirror in the bathroom to the haunting Ghost town. Looking forward to The Southbank Bar Notts on 14th November and The Everards Brewery in December . Keep doing what you do 👍🏼

I would just like to say that we absolutely loved this band. They were excellent all round, great communication, really accommodating of requests we had and very professional. They bought such an amazing atmosphere to our wedding and elevated the night beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend them, lovely people, excellent tunes and great vibes.
