Booking the Skamonics

The Skamonics are available for gigs and functions in and within reasonable distance of London, and festivals throughout the country.

If you are interested in booking us or want to make contact, , contact us at or use the form below to make an enquiry or simply ask us a question.

The Skamonics can play with various line-ups to suit different budgets. We can play as a seven or eight piece instrumental band. We can add vocals, and with a vocalist reduce the number of horns. For a memorable function where you want us to provide two full sets, we strongly recommend the full line-up with vocals.

We have played weddings:

"A big thank you to you and all the band. We all loved it so much. It's the coolest, most age and clique smashing sound I have ever heard. We had a diverse mix at the wedding and everyone loved it!!"
" Thank you very very very much to the Skamonics for making our wedding reception so special. The band were absolutely brilliant and we had a fantastic time. If anyone ever asks to speak to a client please do not hesitate to put them in touch with us. "

... country house parties:

"You were brilliant. Thank you so much. You really made the party and thank you for playing so late."

... birthday parties

""Just a quick note to say thank you very much for your set on Saturday: we all loved the Skamonics and, as you saw, you certainly had the punters on their feet for the whole evening."
""a big thanks to all the band, everyone said how great you were and asked me where I found you (google and myspace) ... Thanks for making my 40th one to remember"

and the Heaven and Hell Ball

"Thanks for doing a fantastic job! We've had nothing but compliments."

The Skamonics play regularly at Gaz's Rockin' Blues and Hootananny - London's top two ska gigs. We have played at the Borderline, 100 Club, Croydon Jazz Festival,Ginglik, Ska Burlesque, Cross Kings, Walthamstow Festival, Leytonestone Festival, Jazz on the River, Bethnal Green Working Mens' Club and Club Mau Mau.

We can provide a complete entertainment package for a wedding or other event. This can use our own PA to combine the Skamonics with other items from a varied menu including a DJ, dinner jazz, or classic covers band (think the Blues Brothers meet the Commitments) featuring a top female vocalist .

We are part of Last Minute Musicians - UK Directory & Entertainment Agency
