What a crowd, they never left the dancefloor. It was great to pop a couple of new numbers in and they wend down a storm.
Some terrific feedback on Facebook.
We’re back in September supporting Bad Manners.

A fantastic venue but a decent drive for us.
We saw a few folks who had seen us in Skegness a few weeks ago and also made a treck.
Off to Swillington, we sneaked in at 5pm and got set up for 7pm only to find out that the guy whose birthday surprise it is was sat watching us set up.
Pauls sweet dulcet tones as a birthday wish. Nightboat to Cairo.
A private party last night at Leeds Irish Centre for the birthday girl Donna.
We unleashed a couple of new numbers too.
A really relaxed night.

We had some competition tonight with Oasis’s first gig of their world tour, but following two cracking sets we ended up doing a double encore. Once again headlining the Saturday night with a massive crowd we even managed to convert some stalwart ‘ragga’ fans.

A fantastic night at Barnbow. We started a little late but caught up and hopefully didn’t disappoint. The dance floor was never empty all night and we first timed a couple of new numbers which went down well.
Here’s a Facebook link to one of our more Punky numbers:
First gig with Andy and Luke and Molly depping on sax.
A really nice gig for Dougies birthday in Middleton, Manchester. A really receptive audience who danced all night. Originally a 2 set gig, but they didn’t want us to leave and we did an extra set.
Great to have Lex with us as Aidy had a family matter.
An Col (animal on drums) even sang a couple.
1 member down tonight due to illness the band took to the new stage to a packed room. Full of Scooter boys and a few Rude boys to boot.

We’re back again in the Summer, so make sure you stick it in your diary.
Our second visit to Staincross and what a nice club. A great place to play with a really welcoming audience.
Hopefully see you guys next year.
Easter weekend was a busy one. Our second gig of the weekend was at The Lupset. Despite the cold wind, the audience stayed and danced the afternoon away.
Unfortunately our stage looked like the local tip and got worse as the day went on.
Firstly thanks to Adam for jumping in on the Pots & Pans.
A massive Thanks to ‘Our Colin’ for standing in on Lead vocals who did a terrific job.
We’re back in again August Bank Holiday so pop it in your diary.
The floor was full all night and from the comments the guests loved it.
It’s always nice to be part of of someone’s Special day.
Here’s to the very happy couple.
A fantastic night to a packed room. The dance floor was filled all night long and some terrific feedback from the management.
Sounds like we’re going back there in the near future.

It was a meeting of the genres at Venue 23 Wakefield.
Supported by Sharp Class and playing to an audience of almost 300 we kept them on the floor all afternoon.
Huge thanks to the Sound tech crew who made us sound great getting us up and running in just 15 mins.
We must have impressed the management as we were booked again in June before we left.
Search ticket source to book.
Two more nice reviews from Facebook.

Terrific gig on Saturday. Pumping crowd where we went down a storm. Thanks to Mark for depping on Sax.
We were rebooked for another visit before we finished the set. Sorry we interrupted the boxing, but most didn’t seem to mind.
Thanks to Lucy for the artwork
See u soon
Yorkshire Scooter Alliance End of Season meet at Bridlington
Come see us at the Lodge and then The Goat on Saturday.
We had a storming time at Brid. A bit hectic with two gigs in one day due to an establishment changing hands and a mix up with the booking. A logistical nightmare moving the PA around but we certainly didn’t disappoint.
We’re all getting a bit old to carry this stuff around 🤣🤣
Some of the band had the honour and privilege to play for the residents and families of Martin House Hospice.
Due to an evening commitment we were only able to open the show and did so with the help of the wonderful Claire on Sax. A short set but wonderfully received.
There is nothing better for a musician than seeing people thoroughly enjoying themselves with total abandon.
The theme was ‘Hawaiian’ which was a shock to our system as were usually black and white but we embraced the day and threw ourselves into it.
We have no hesitation in volunteering our services next year.
What can we say!? The best bit of self indulgence we’ve ever been involved with.
We had an absolute ball playing 2 sets without a break, but the ‘crowd’ were fantastic.
Caroline (Cazz) seemed to have a fabulous time and let’s hope that it becomes an annual event.
And thanks for the pies… they were delicious for breakfast 😂👍
A great bit of artwork for RODLEY Fest. I think the credit goes to Lucy Reins.
We have a couple of weeks before our next gig, so we’re using the time to put two more charts in our arsenal.
A great write up, see the whole thing here
And hope to see you there
Continue reading Tickles 2nd Birthday BashThe first of many. An epic launch of the new Wakefields got Ska at Venue 23.
The Legend Rhoda Dakar took the stage with us. We played a tribute to her early career in the Bodysnatchers with Do Rock Steady and she complemented us on the arrangement and performance.
Overall a brilliant night and blinding success.
A Happy anniversary to Forsyth & Shell
We’re starting to love this new one…
54-46 that’s my number.
The lyrics describe Toots’ time in prison after being arrested for possession of marijuana.
We entertained both sets of fans and although the result wasn’t great for The Tigers we managed to give a bit of joy to some fans.
Our latest chart to our set and you’re gonna Love It!!!
Into the FanZone on such a small stage, but what an audience. They weren’t all totally au fait with skankin’ but boy did they do some dancing.
Unfortunately the Tigers didn’t do that well, but we did pick up some terrific feedback
Massive congratulations to our very own Gladiator Rich on completing his 2nd Tough Mudder. Your band family are super proud. Skanktastic. 😎🎺
Just picked up our new Super subs…
