Baked A La Ska - Halloween Special

A Halloween edition of Baked A La Ska, a Manchester ska act, playing reworked spooky favourites at Band On The Wall in the Northern Quarter. The night suits fans of upbeat ska and dancehall grooves.

Baked A La Ska are a Manchester ska band assembled by keyboardist Mr John Ellis. Three singers share the front line: Frank "The Skank", Tommy Robot and Kuntri Ranks. Robin Sunflower adds a softer vocal lilt and harmonica, and the rhythm section is described as one of the tightest in the city.

This Halloween special takes familiar spooky songs and gives them the band's ska treatment, with a selection of tracks from the record Skalloween. Costumes are welcome, so the evening suits anyone who wants a seasonal night of dancefloor skanking.

Band On The Wall is a concert and performance venue in Manchester's Northern Quarter. The Sunday Times has praised the group's upbeat anthems and dancehall skanking, while the Manchester Evening News described them as wildly eccentric yet hard to resist.
