Dakka Skanks at The Fighting Cocks

Dakka Skanks are a band committed to bringing hard reggae, ska, dub and punk rhythms together in a fresh style. The group have a passion and organic togetherness crafted through years of writing and performing with each other.

Clara Byrne's mesmerising lead vocal cuts through like a wave of emotion, her lyrical integrity straight from the soul, with serious social and political issues explored through dramatic delivery.

From hard steppers to traditional ska, furious punk and sprinklings of Motown, Dakka Skanks come with the style and always bring the dance.

Catch them at The Fighting Cocks this Friday night.

Elbow at Hampton Court Palace Festival

Indie rock stars Elbow kick off the Hampton Court Palace Festival on Friday night.

Performing at the Palace for the first time, fans can expect to hear tracks from their latest material as well as certified classics such as 'One Day Like This' and 'Grounds for Divorce'.

Legendary mainstays of both the U.K and global music scene, Elbow have long enjoyed an avid following of fans thanks to their musicality and frontman Guy Garvey's lyrical genius.

Able to deliver the most intimate performances, even in stadium-sized shows, the dramatic and unique setting of Hampton Court Palace Festival will only accentuate the band's uplifting, and often touching, songs from three decades of collaboration.

Crack comedy at The Grey Horse

Welcome to the home of Kingston's original and longest running comedy night.
