How did this thread pass me by?!?!?!
Ska is the business!! I too was that Harrington wearer! Bit of a revival of the revival in the late 80s/early 90s anyone remember the Potato 5? (can't find a clip though...) They were about a 10 piece ska band, gigged loads around London (I went thru' a phase of seeing them as often as poss)... they had loads of brass (instruments, not cash!) 3 saxes, trombone, trumpet... singer was Jamaican fella Floyd Lloyd , and they also did some great stuff a bit later with Laurel Aitken... I have some stuff on vinyl... great memories, great music!
