Ska bands announced for The Great Skinhead Reunion…
Taking place from June 7th – 9th in Brighton, The Great Skinhead reunion has announced its band line up for 2024. Amongst artists from the Punk, OI! and Soul scenes are the Ska acts The Ethiopians, The Hotknives, Section 8 and The Manor.
Running since 2011, The Great Skinhead Reunion is a huge seaside get-together for skinheads from all over the UK and farther afield.
The Ethiopians (Neville Duncan) are one of Jamaica’s best-loved and best know groups during the late ska, rocksteady and early reggae periods. Having significant number of hits between the mid-1960s and early 1970s, the group was also one of the first Jamaican acts to perform widely in Britain. The Ethopians on Facebook

The Manor – another London based Ska band playing original material. I saw these only last year at The Dublin Castle and they put on a great show. They have had a changeable line-up recently, held together by East End frontman Brad Turner. The band are from all over London all have their individual musical history which is now now joined in this very exciting new project of mostly original material with a few covers thrown in to capture the spirit. The changeable nature of the bands line up means they’re often looking for new musicians to join the fray. The Manor Facebook Page or contact Brad on his Facebook page
The bands will be playing across the weekend alongside Punk and OI! bands such as The Lst Resort, Menace and Criminal Damage.
