Got to agree with you about Dave Barker... as you say pure quality. There's going to be a brand new Dave Barker single released at the festival... and if that wasn't enough he also guests of two songs on the forthcoming Phoenix City All-stars album, which is also launched at the fest..

Saw (& heard) them at last years ska fest and are really looking forward to see him again at the 2012 ska fesr. And if i got it right Rico Rodriguez will perform again too...
Yaay!!

[jamdown]

Hi Lisa... yep Rico is now on the line up. Reuniting him with Dandy Livingstone who produced his first couple of albums and of course had him on the original 'Rudy A Message To You'

[jamdown]
