A Christmas sailing on the Thames aboard the paddle steamer Dixie Queen, staged by the London International Ska Festival, with ska, rocksteady, reggae and 2 Tone sounds played by its DJs.
This Christmas sailing of the London International Ska Festival takes place on the Dixie Queen, a paddle steamer on the Thames that departs from Butlers Wharf Pier. The vessel has two floors, two bars and two outer decks, and the route passes a number of London landmarks.
The music is ska, rocksteady, reggae and 2 Tone, played by DJs including Jerry Dammers, of The Specials and founder of 2 Tone Records, Sean Flowerdew, founder of Pama International and the London International Ska Festival, and Nanker P of Time Tunnel.
