    They're absolutely brilliant. Perfect skanking and fair play to both of them for being so fit and healthy to be able to do this, it's a lot more physically tiring than other styles of dancing. Well done men.

    I dressed my son as a rudeboy for his first Halloween this year. For some background, I spent the first few months trying to find music he'd like, latch on to, dance to, and fall asleep to. His sensibilities picked Ska. We've bonded to Ska as a result. So, I bought him a black and white suit and some checkered Vans. That's what the wife and I dressed him as for his first Halloween. My little rude boy. I love him!

    I was a kid when ska came on the scene. In those days you had to stick to a genre of music to identify yourself... I was a rocker into quo, purple, lizzy etc and anything else was sacrilege. My 'kids' (now 20+) these days are so broad minded in that they just like 'good' music. Nowadays I listen back to the stuff I shunned in the 80s and some of it is brilliant, plus I can't listen to some of the stuff I used to air guitar to every evening. In fact, In the car today Led Zeppelin 'whole lotta love ' came on and I switched off the radio.

    Lol less off the 'old' most of us fans from that era are late 40s early 50s :-)
    Went to Madness concert in all my old ska clothes had a wicked time , but realised when you our age , doing dancing and skanking to this music hits your calf muscles big time, I couldn't walk properly for 3 days, felt like i had run a marathon :-) ....we are not old but we might need a full service and an oil change before next gig lol
