(featuring Bad Manners)

Venue: Holmfirth Picturedrome

Bad Manners are an English Second Wave (2 Tone) ska revival band. They quickly became the novelty favourites of the fad through their bald, enormous-bodied frontman\'s on-stage antics, earning early exposure through their Top of The Pops TV exploits and an appearance in the live film documentary, Dance Craze.

Ska music is great, but live Ska music takes it to a whole different level. Long time Ska band, Bad Manners is the perfect example of this fact. Led by Buster Bloodvessel, their big band has everything from live horns to all types of saxophones, and the liveliest amount of energy possible.

In the early 80s when the UK became infatuated with ska, reggae and dancehall Bad Manners enjoyed numerous singles sticking in the charts for months on end. 'Lip Up Fatty' was a playlist hit on national radio and TV and lets not forget the other hits My Girl Lollipop, Lorraine and "Ne Ne Na Na Na Na Nu Nu, live is no exception - you get them all and more !
