Late last year myself, my wife and some old friends got together in Dublin for a night out.
Getting older, having kids and one of the guys living in London means we don't get out as often as we used to.
Anyway, we'd had a few beers and something to eat when we decided to visit The Gaiety (a Dublin theatre) which over the weekends has different entertainment over its various levels. As luck would have it, the bar we settled into had a Madness tribute band playing the 2 Tone Ska tracks that were really popular while we were kids.
So seven friends spent the reamainder of the night dancing like crazy fools to the soundtrack of their early teens.
This mix is a momento to the guys for the night...

I've copies ready for all the guys that were there that night, hopefully it'll bring back some good memories.
5 of us are together in London this weekend, who knows, after a few beers we might be dancing 'round the kitchen to this!

A few crossovers between my old mix and this one, inevitable when looking at this genre, but very very lovely. A solid ska mix
