Welcome to 2010 ska/ reggae lovers!
The end of 2009 say the mighty Hepcat come back for another round of holiday cheer. Let’s hope this becomes a yearly occurrence. Here’s a sad note though that I hope someone can do something about. It seems that the originators of the music, The Skatalites, have lost their website. It looks like it was not re-registered. The band needs a proper website!
There are already some great shows coming up in the next few weeks (SEE BELOW) – what a way to kick off the new year. We of course have the ACE Club every Third Thursday of the month (next event is Jan 21) at The Good Nite still going strong and I’ll be dropping in at the next Ska Wave event January 23.
Read til the end for a special offer for a really great show coming up as well. Don’t want to miss this show. I promise. This is a special offer just for you readers of this newsletter and users of The Dancing Mood Board (www.dancingmood.net)
