Skalloween: The Marching SKAletons + Live DJs

Skalloween: The Marching SKAletons + Live DJs is a club-style night at Hootananny Brixton in London, billed as a mix of R&B, soul, funk, gospel and reggae. The event pairs a live act with DJs.

The night is built around The Marching SKAletons, whose name points to the ska tradition, with live DJs providing the rest of the programme. The billing across R&B, soul, funk, gospel and reggae suggests a broad range of black music styles rather than a single genre, and the pairing of a live group with DJs means the evening alternates between performance and recorded-style sets.

Hootananny Brixton is a music venue in London that hosts concerts and shows, and this event places a themed, Halloween-linked evening there. The night suits anyone who wants a dance-led outing drawing on several Caribbean and American roots styles, from reggae and ska-related grooves to soul and funk.

The Marching SKAletons and the live DJs are the two named acts on the bill. Those planning a visit can rely on the programme for the timing and format of the evening, which are set out separately from this description.
